Has anyone seen the book on Indian Quarter Eagles?

by Mike Fuljenz? I just won one on ebay ( haven't received it yet ) and was wondering if anyone else has seen and read it. I never saw the book before. What do you think of the book?

Another question, is it only telemarketers who do promotions on these coins and their poor customers who go after sets of them?

Personally I sorta kinda like them. It's a short and easy enough set to put together, but price is a factor. Whattaya think?

i have read it

it is a simplistic book made for not too knowledgable investors in mind to get some hype in them about indian quarter eagles

it is okie a decent book but does not tell me anything i did not know before

I owned the book for a short time and then dumped it on ebay. I did not care for the book, and I do not care for the series.

I like the coins, only have one for type - the thing that works for them is the set is doable; the same thing works against them (easily promoted to a price higher than you maybe want to pay.)

Bill Jones in the past has shown his very nice set in a Cap Plastics holder.

But in answer to the question - I haven't read that book.

I haven't seen the book. I like the coins but slabs have made them uncollectable for me.

Its easy to get ripped on these if you buy them raw.

Such short term thinking...

I'd prefer to have them raw too but that's me.

A little story though. I was buying quite a bit of scrap in South Jersey back in 79/80 and a jeweler had a couple of double row boxes of these coins. I took them on the arm and showed them to a guy I was selling to in Basking Ridge. He showed me how they were fakes albeit gold and as such the quote to the jeweler in Toms River was for bullion. The jeweler of course didn't want to believe they were fake even after I cut a few of them in half with snips to say "see? ".

He kept em, put them in ring and necklace mountings and sold them as the real mccoy. Nice huh? I wonder if the business is still there.

Wonder if there were any 1911-D in your jewelers collection?
