commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12252 Posts	Posted 05/23/2012 6:59 pm When I first posted about the Roanoke Colony half-dollar, I did not include any of the associated ephemera in my collection. So, I thought I'd "make a mends" and post a couple of interesting items. I especially like the advertisement for the memorial coin on the back of the FDC.

Suppose you are not 110 years old ... so there must be a source to acquire all this tremendous ephemera. Secret?

Very funny! No, I'm not 110 but I hope to get there some day! My secret? My patented 3 step process is as follows: Read as much about the series as you can in books, old magazines, etc. so that you know what is out there. Attend as many local/regional/national coin shows as you can. Buy when the opportunity presents itself -- you won't know when (if) you'll see the piece again. Not very sexy, but it has worked for me over the years. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12252 Posts	Posted 05/25/2012 3:34 pm @wquinn: Yes, nearly all of my classic commemoratives are in PCGS holders. Almost all of the related holders/mailers I have purchased (and displayed here on CCF) have been empty at the time of purchase. Sometimes they did come with a certified coin I was buying, but mostly I bought them without a coin or coins. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
