Decided I needed to pick up a few holders so off to Hobby Lobby. To my surprise as I exited I noticed a small clearance section. I said why not. As I strolled over I noticed coin books. I thought now your talking.
$4.31. The official Red Book. A guide book of Mercury Dimes, Standing Liberty Quarters and Liberty walking half dollars. QDavid Bowers
$2.14 The official Red Book. Checklist and Record book of United States and Canadian Coins. Including actual size illustrations
I also picked up a doodling book for my coin carving ideas.
Markers, Whitman holders and little bags I can give away with coins.

I love Hobby Lobby. The app has a never expiring 40% off coupon for the most expensive item you have at checkout.
Wow!! I would have snagged that Mercury Dime, Standing Liberty Quarter and Walking Liberty Half Dollar book in a second! That is an amazing price for a book I don't have yet.
Nice score!
Excellent!

Good for them. At least the stuff was not smuggled into the country like the antiquities they got caught with for their "museum of the bible" in Washington DC.
I just saw a commercial for that today... In SoCal?!
So ModCrewman, you disagree with me over a Hobby Lobby coupon and don't say why. LOL!!!!
What's your disagreement? I need to hear this one!
No. It's in Washington DC not far from the mall. Has generally been better than initially expected although light on facts. Shows excellent use of technology and display technique. Must be difficult to create a "museum" when your source material is a mishmash stuck together by committees and lemming-like leaps of faith.
Nice pickups
Does the Hobby Lobby museum have any coins on display?
The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin
Coins in Movies
Coins on Television
To some of this I'll need to agree. Think about it. I go to a coin show and buy 2 arrowheads, a piece of broken painted pottery, and seven tiny glass beads on some old brown thread. Now, I have the makings of a museum display that will have people staring in wonderment. All I need to do is to place them on white velvet steps on top of a white column with a plexiglass cover. Then add several small cards describing where I want them to be from with a made up story.
The point I'm making is that while finding some shards of genuine blue glaze pottery, a button and a broken clay pipe stem from a ditch in Georgetown, DC was exciting, the stuff is just junk until it is put on display and venerated in a museum.
I thought that was just a 'Christmas' store.....
I love clearance sections.
No Hobby Lobby near here.... I do peruse the couple of book stores in the village... lots of used books, but, no luck so far. Cheers, RickO
Cool!

Hobby Lobby is a store mostly of paints art supplies and Home decore and plenty of books for hobbies. You can find jewelry making model plains paintball spraying framing clay paper pens pencils drafting. Like Micheal’s.

Closeouts can be a treasure trove.
I've never been in one, I'll have to check them out some time.

They have a lot of man cave stuff too, especially for the garage.
Yes, I saw one there dated 400 BC! (joke)
