[attachment=2839]Got these 7 items for $30 from 2nd hand dealer in Healesville Victoria.
It's fascinating to see what coins were selling for back then. My 1910 Florin has come along way.:read:
Nice pickup there. Be surprised what one can find in a country book shop.
Excellent purchase proof27 these old books are collectors items in themselves
Hello,
I have bought many books 2nd hand for very little. Some are pristine, others just a good read. We are so wasteful, not long ago we had to get rid of TV sets, LCD and they didnt want them at the recycling Center. So we filled up one on the bins with working TV's including some large Plasma's. More than 50 in total.
Kids these days dont value books which is a shame. Many dont know what a record is, and are not interested anyway. This is how we are changing, everything is made for a short life and replacement rather than lasting and being fixed. How many of us would have a 50 plus year old fridge in their garage ?.
When I worked recycling I used to pick up old books all the time. Some were specialist coin books (and hardback to boot) and others were CABs and Maccas (including the one on my desk that I add more thumb marks to). Some must have cost plenty when new and now they are out of print they are hard to get. Never get the mentality of throwing out old coin reference books.
A dollar saved on books is a dollar to spend on coins.
