...so I am going to buy some copies of The @RogerB book from Amazon in about 20 min...let’s have some fun!

The first 5 posters to request a copy here in this thread...then it’s on me...I think it’s good when the Pros here refer us to Numismatic literature, even if it is indeed their own...I went to college, and my best professors weren’t always the best salesmen...so I was glad when purchasing their authored books was a course requirement ;)

If you turn out in the top 5 then PM me where you would like your copy sent...Feel free to post in here just for fun, even if you don’t want a copy...it’s just over 1am here on the West Coast so let’s ride this baby till the sun comes up!

    I'm posting as the firestarter behind the thread, but you can skip me on the giveaway as I already gave Roger my money a couple times. Roger should use one of my toners on his cover in version 3 and then I'll keep my mouth shut.

    All good bro...who knows, maybe we make a couple newbie Peace Dollar collectors out of the whole thing...somebody’s got to be there to bid up your toners when collecting time is over ;)

    I really did mean the jab at Roger in a lighthearted manner, and it had more to do with him JUST posting buy the book and not at least a tidbit to the actual question posted. He made up for it later. As a P$ collector I respect his contribution and have been enjoying his postings ATS while he was banned here this whole time. Get mkman a copy! mkman you still got that nice circulated 1921?

  • SurfinxHISurfinxHI Posts: 2,466 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wow! Send a copy to mkman and double it up and save on the postage. I’m sure we could figure out a way to meet up!

    ...one left to give away...I think cause I may already have one somewhere in the cave, but there’s far too much smoke in here now to know for sure...I can barely see the re-mastered episodes of 90210 my kid-brother and I have been powering all night in here ;)

  • jtlee321jtlee321 Posts: 2,364 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I would love to have one. I'm alway's looking for a good book. I have the QDB on Morgan's. This would be a nice compliment to it. :)

    Wow! That's a really nice and generous thing to do!

    RE: "I really did mean the jab at Roger in a lighthearted manner, and it had more to do with him JUST posting buy the book and not at least a tidbit to the actual question posted. "

    OK. Understood. Authors might receive a small fee up-front, but in most cases even that does not exist.

    I made one of the plate coins in that book. I still have it. I think its the 1923.

    I actively asked for possible illustration examples for the book. There are some wonderful pieces in private collections that seldom get the recognition they deserve. Plus, I like to see collectors get credit for their interest and acumen. In the case of the Peace dollar book, the publisher did not want to use individual credit lines as I proposed in the draft. But you will find individual photo/collection credits in all my other books and articles.

    You need some colorfully toned examples on your front cover next time.

    Somehow missed all this but it's all good stuff.

    Thanks @3keepSECRETif2rDEAD for injecting some life into the boards.

    Edit: AND also thank you @RogerB for your contributions. We're all a little bit smarter now.

    DON'T DO IT! If you do, save a non-toned cover for my friend Ricko.

    Just lookin out for you, Bud.
