- How to make money from investing in collectables
Ironically, we picked a few dozen copies of this book from the liquidated assets of the Rare Coin Company - a company that specialized in "investment" quality coins and banknotes that went into receivership owing customers millions of dollars!
Reading this book in that context is interesting indeed - if more of their clients had actually read this book and implemented the ideas that are in it, they would never have gotten into the trouble that they did.
The book retailed at $34.95 when it first came out - we've set the cost here to cover the cost of postage, so it has to be worth the ask price!
