Seems like they have a decent selection of books available.


Anyone ever buy from them?

    Purchased from them not too long ago. Exceptional experience. They are top notch in my "book".

    I would look at Wizard Coin Supply first. They are the best in the biz, and the owner is a fellow forum member and all-around good guy. image

    That's Chuck D'Ambra, I believe. I've purchased several coins from him (and have always been satisfied), but not books.

    Telesphere is cheaper than Wizard on shipping IMO.

    Telesphere - USPS Priority Mail [95602] Shipping: $7.80
    Wizard - USPS Priority Mail: $10.27

    Book
    Telesphere - A Guide Book of Peace Dollars $15.95
    Wizard - A Guide Book of Peace Dollars - $14.96

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Actually, if someone orders just the Peace Dollar book from Wizard and selects Priority Mail shipping, the shipping charge will be $6.45. Media Mail is also offered for $4.34. You can see Wizard's shipping policy here.

    WIZARD is always the first stop and the postage has never been an issue. However, I find Wizard to be much like the Lays bag of chips. I can never only order what I'm looking for. Extra goodies must accompany my original quest. Now I just hate that!image

    I've ordered a handful of books from Telesphere in the past and have always been happy with their service and they do seem to have a wide selection of titles.
