Coin Collecting In 1963.

I recently picked up a very interesting magazine from 1963 called ,"Coin collecting For Fun and Profit by the editors of Coin World", 1963.
Some interesting Facts;
* Department store Gimballs has a full page ad buying and selling coins.
* Roll collecting was the rage.
* Cleaning coins was frowned upon even then.
Some intersting Quotes;
* " Today there are more than 5,000 full time coin dealers across the country who buy and sell coins and supplies each year."
* " Then suddenly Zoom! Within a few months in 1963 it became apparent to thousands of people outside the hobby that coin investment could be Big bussiness. And overnight it WAS big Bussiness".
* "Collecting is at a peak of price and all old records are being broken".
* (Reguarding the release from the mint of hoarded Morgan dollars)"For example the 1903 O Morgan in Unc. condition dropped from $1500 to $25." (ouch!)
* " Proof sets should come out of the cellophane mint-sealed package because all cellophane contains nitrate a tarnishing agent".
Attached images are of the highest priced coins at the time.
There is also an extensive price quide, so if you would like the 1963 price on anything, just ask.
Enjoy!
PS. Note the 1933 Twenty dollar gold piece for $4,400--I thought they were illegal to own?
