COIN BOARD NEWS WINTER 2014 ISSUE PUBLISHED

My latest book has been in print for a couple of months now, and the reviews have been extremely gratifying. I was surprised that two reviews appeared very quickly on Amazon, and I don’t know who the writers are. Despite nothing but praise for the book, sales have been a bit slow. This is something I’ve been hearing from numismatic booksellers about all titles, so I’m not too concerned for now. The book’s price does deter the casual buyer, but there’s really no substitute for the information presented, and the book is by far the finest I’ve ever produced in terms of graphic quality.

Perhaps a few interested persons are waiting for one of the discount houses to offer it at a lower price, but this is simply not going to happen. I’m the publisher and sole source of this title. It may be purchased through my listings on Amazon and eBay, or you may order it from me directly. Of course, this last option is preferable for me, as I don’t have to share any revenue with the big boys.

In an interesting side note, my ads for the new album book have resulted in more sales of the earlier coin board book than I’ve had in a long while. My mailing list of board collectors and potential collectors has grown considerably.

[An] interesting item I acquired for myself was a framed, homemade coin board for large cents that was evidently produced during the late 1930s. I’m attaching the eBay seller’s photo, and I’ve since re-pasted the fallen flag back into its correct position. With the glass given a thorough cleaning, this item really looks nice.
