I found my copy of Bust Half Fever, (second edition) by Edgar Souders.
I don’t collect the series and don’t need the book. I may sell it on BST.
Any idea what a very nice copy is worth?

Check ebay.

Thanks, Tom.
Only the electronic PDF version is available there.
I have seen the hard copy priced about $125 online. DIdn’t think I could get that, but...
Post it on the US coin forum. Never know what might happen. 😆
Sold my last one for $75.
Information inside is priceless.

A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Dave Kahn makes a market in these books, as another option.

Price goes up and down on these it seems. Supply and demand...
$125 sounds about right for buyer and seller, assuming they are in one of their hard to find phases..
Prices for books are all over the place. I don't think I would price it above $90 or so, unless I was prepared to wait a while for someone to bite. Prices for numismatic books, which sell in a reasonable time after listing, have dropped during the last few years. This said, that book is quite useful.

I wonder it been published in the Newman numismatic portal? For available but modestly scarce books that portal seems to have killed the value.
Latin American Collection
Does it matter 1st or 2nd edition. Whether signed by the author? Great book. I believe I have 2 of them somehow. Probably should sell one myself.
I think I paid around $80. Maybe 7-8 years ago. The book had never been used.
It's a good book but it requires several readings to be able to understand it because of the authors writing style. For me At least.
At first it seems too wordy and disjointed. But it all comes together. I highly recommend it. I get it out often for reference and just for the joy of the read. It's my favorite coin book.
