My 1st edition of the Coin World Alamanac arrived today thanks to another thread on this forum

Now I just have to get the more recent version as well

The U.S. Mint is about to start taking order for the Marine Corps Commem. Will it be the first modern commem to actually sell out by selling all 600,000 authorized strikes?

 

Second, if you said yes that it would sell out, do you plan on purchasing any of the 4 different types of issues on this commem? The Proof, the Uncirculated, the Uncirculated Coin/Stamp combination, and finally the American Legacy Collection which contains Proof versions of the Marine Corps commem, the Chief Justice John Marshall commem, and all 10 circulating coins.

Haven't other coins sold old, like the Buffalo $1 people mention?

I don't know about this one, personally I don't think the 235th anniversary of anything should get a coin. At least stick to normal round anniversaries. 1905 had plenty of events worth commemorating.

I love, love, love the early gold. Liberty just looks funky. Not in my price range at the moment, maybe in 30 years when the kids are self sufficient.

Maybe I should sell my library and buy coins...

 

Oh, no!

 

Sell your coins and buy books!

You know, I mostly have. I've turned over the coins in my collection numerous times. The books on the other hand, I've pretty much kept. I've never had an urge to sell books, but I've sold a lot of coins. I bet that says something

The last book I bought was the Syllogue Nummorum Sasanidarum Volume 3.

Two of the 6 are now out meaning I have to spend at least another $600 to get the set.
