New Coin World posters

I'm not sure if this has come up, but my latest issue of Coin World Values magazine shows some cool stuff from the publisher. For the top 25 most actively collected US series, they have created a high quality grading photo book with diagrams of wear points. They also offer 25 separate 2' x 3' grading posters for the different series. They look impressive.

I've been looking for some cool coin stuff to decorate my office. In fact, if I could find a 2-3' poster of an Ultra High Relief Saint I would be all over it.

Has anyone ordered or seen one of the posters? They are $25 each ($20 for subscribers) so they are asking quite a bit. What is the quality like?

    Very cool....I may have snag a few of those.

    Thanks for the heads-up,

  • For $25, I assume they are on exceptionally heavy bond, glossy or rich matte paper. That is a steep price.

    Go for the full monte - all 25 posters for $400.

  • Cool poster, I hadn't seen those before. I like 'em.

    Slightly OT here, but does it bother anyone that you have to subscribe to Coin World to get the "AA Price" or whatever it is? I've let my sub go to Coin World, as I just haven't been terribly interested in it anymore (too much new mint stuff, crappy dealer ads that I'll never buy from, etc.) Unfortunately, Amos is one of the better online, catch-all supply sources, but not without the subscriber cut. Oh well...

    I may have to get one of these. Thanks for pointing them out.

    Free posters were distributed to audience members at Beth Deisher's two educational forums at the Long Beach Expo, September 23 and 24. And, yes, they are cool. They are reproductions of the color images in the book; each poster depicts one of the 25 top U.S. coins described in the book.
