Who has the best deal on Breen's Encyclopedia?

mrearlygold

And do you all have one?

RYK

I have one. I purchased it new from an Amazon.com reseller, using a gift certificate to defray the cost. I NEVER use it, and it takes up too much space on the shelf.

zenny

i think i see a "done deal" coming up.....

How much?

I mean for me Robert?

RYK

Sorry, Tom, I am using it to kill roaches.

Retail, I think Brooklyn Gallery had a good price relative to most others years back, possibly still.
Resale market, look on eBay and places like that.

RCI (who advertises in the classified ads in the back of Coin World) is offering copies of Breen for $89.95 postpaid. The phone number in their ad is 586-773-9540.

I have a copy. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I found it very useful for introductory info on different coin series and I still refer to it from time-to-time for variety and die info.

I was just going to ask about RCI. Good one Dave

Which book?

Walter Breen wrote quite a few books.

Link to Abebooks search on Walter Breen books

WaterSport

I have two, one at home, and one for the office. I think both were bought on line. Try used book searches like ALIBRIS and AMAZON.

Coinosaurus

It's a great first reference and often points me to sources I hadn't thought of. We gotta get RYK's head out of those gold coins

Abe Books seems to have some good deals. I just bought a couple extra Pattern books to give to customers.

ER

Bought mine from Wal-Mart last year, $79, brand new.

Longacre

The book can be found a lot of places for around $85. The suggestions above are good ones.

With all your money, mrearlygold, why is price an issue?

Barndog

I'll bet if you wait long enough and check the BST every so often, RTS will post one for sale at a very good price.

Where?

It's a book that I think every coin collector should have in their library Mr Longacre.

I don't remember who was selling it but I bought mine on the BST board for $35 and it was in perfect shape.
