Coin boards were the forerunner of today's coin folders and albums, and they launched the era of popular coin collecting in America. Colorful and scarce, antique coin boards are a fast growing collectible area in themselves, one which has never been documented until now. This book tells the complete story of the companies that produced coin boards from 1934 to 1948, with biographies of all the principal players. It also includes a complete catalog of all brands, titles and varieties, as well as a handy check list for managing a collection of coin boards. A grading guide lets readers determine the condition of their boards, and each board entry is valued in four grades. Also included are tips on how to purchase and store coin boards. Collecting these fascinating relics of the coin hobby's Golden Age has never been easier or more fun. Even for those who don't collect coin boards, this is the ultimate coffee table book for anyone who loves the hobby's history. 216 pages long, this comprehensive book features hundreds of illustrations, including 64 pages in full color. Spiral bound, the pages lie flat for easy, hands-free usage while attributing and grading coin boards. This book is now available for shipment. With a list price of $39.95
