Do You Have Pics Of Old Newspapers That Have Some Coin Advertisements Posted By Dealers And Etc.

That's waht I want!

I am really curious about the years people do not have a cell phone, these advertisements just give me a chance to know something, Thank you!

The ad from Numismatist reminded me of perhaps the most famous coin ads, first this one from December 1919:

Imagine paying $500 for a 1913 Liberty nickel. But as it turns out, Samuel Brown was a former mint employee, and he wasn't interested in buying any. He already had five of them, and he was laying the groundwork for selling them without drawing suspicion.

Next came this one, from December 1923, reportedly all 5 sold for $2000. The rest is history, as they say.

Excellent, kbbpll! I was not familiar with that story.

I remember that, it wqas right uder the x-ray glasses!

@ironhorse
Actually this is the first time saw Seated half dollar, and at that time(2015), I was in primary school, I've talked about this Mikey Mouse book. Yes, as the fat guy who sat behind me handed me this book and told me there was a coin raffle, I saw the Seated half dollar on the book, I was just astonished by the design. Just like the design, don't know why. except Flying Eagle cent, there is no another coin that gives me this feeling. sometimes comic book is a good thing haha(though I am not a cartoon fan)


@Spense
I can access to the website! Thank you!

@ijn1944
Thank you! Vintage is a good adj haha.

@jbuck
It seems you are really familiar with all the posts, new advertisements, Thank you!

@Hondo Boguss
It's really convenient, I think I'm also interested in old news! Thank you!
And I don't konw in people will use "UNC, small date, small o..." It seems there is truly a long history of grading coins...just amazing!

@kbbpll
I'm speechless. I think liberty head nickel is a modern type for them.
Were they sending the books with coin in it? I wonder what will happen if you just take the coins hahaha. But it just like the stories that I could only heard in other peoples' mouth. Envy all who have experiensed that
period. I know the Littleton coin company, I think they always design some attractive wrap.

@bobby 131313
Interesing, does it means they will help you to apply copper to steel cent?

@Bobby and @CoinFrog, hahaha, yes, how well I remember the x-ray glasses and Atlas bodybuilding ads with the "skinny weakling" getting sand kicked at him. I think there was a lot of magic trick stuff too.

@Wan I also noticed the Hong Kong 1c note "while supply lasts" as part of the deal. 1c paper money seems crazy. The 1913 Liberty nickel is legendary, if you're an ANA member there's a good article in September 2011 Numismatist where I first saw the subterfuge with the ads for them.

My pleasure!
