Its from a numismatic guide put out by Arnold Numismatic Co. in 1910. I have been wanting to post a picture of it for some time for you guys. I have rarely pulled it out becuase its almost 100 years old. Almost as old as the Lincoln Cents.

Well now since I have posted this little item does anyone have any idea what this type of item might be worth? Not interested in selling but have always thought it had to be worth more than the few dollars I paid for it as a kid. By the way it has 72 pages full of hand drawn illistrations with coins that the company buys and sells along with coins they do not buy like the 1857-58 fying eagle cents.

Yes, but back then I'm pretty sure that 25 cents was alot of money. If you had 25 cents, you would be a millionaire and you could buy a mansion and a yacht.

That was the first thing I noticed too. Its quite an odd way to put it.
Quick Sherman, to the Wayback Machine!
It was fake though.
If one could only go back in time and buy all they could.
I'd pay that any day of the week!

just too many of them still floating around in circulation at the time i guess.
60 years into this hobby and I'm still working on my Lincoln set!
