Anyone know where I can get a really old - 1960s - copy of Coin World?

In th mid-to-late 60s I was a kid coin collector. I remember Numismatic News, Coin Collector (out of Anamosa, Iowa - now why the hell do I remember that?), but mostly Coin World. It had two big fat sections in those days, one of which I think was mostly classifieds. Anybody got an idea where I could buy a copy that old? I'd love to take a walk down memory lane & read all those old articles and ads.

I checked ebay, no luck.

    Thanks! I saw that listing when I ran the search of titles for Coin World, but stupidly I figured it was just the single ad they were selling, not the whole paper.
