Your use of this book should help, and—especially for those of you with a valuable collection—a copy for your heirs would not be amiss.” – COINage Coin Collector's Yearbook “…deserves to be in the hands of any collector of coins, serious or frivolous. It gives excellent advice for maintaining records, car- ing for, safeguarding and for disposing of a numismatic collection. Dealers would do well to recommend it to their customers – after reading it themselves.” – Col. Bill Murray, Noted Columnist “…by far the best book written on how to ensure that your coin collection is never sold for pennies on the dollar. A book I highly recommend to all my clients.” – Dale Williams, Professional Numismatist “How comprehensive is this book? I put it with my collection and told my daughter Sara to read it when it comes to handling my coin estate.” – Fred Weinberg, Past President of the Professional Numismatists Guild “In summary, this small paperback book contains a wealth of information for collectors at all levels of the hobby. You can read it over a weekend, and I would urge you to share it with your potential heirs. If nothing else, place a copy on top of your collection, with important (to you) sections highlighted. Your heirs will be glad you did.” – Mike Thorne, Writer. Coins Magazine Estate Planning Made Easy, June 3, 2009 “Must reading for most of today’s collectors.” – Coins Magazine k “A wealth of sound and practical information, written in a clear and con- cise manner. Must reading for every collector!” – Leroy Van Allen, Numismatic Author and Morgan Dollar Expert “…It is for everyone in numismatics and is even a ‘must have’ for those who may become heirs, but lack the know-how of what to do next. Senior citizens, like myself, will be especially happy with the interesting stories of estates, etc. … EVERYONE should own it if coins are involved in their activities. I highly recommend this book…” – Lee Martin, Founder of the Numismatic Literary Guild l The first edition of this book, titled The Rare Coin Estate Handbook, received many of the comments and endorsements listed above, and won the Robert Friedberg Award from the Professional Numismatists Guild: Best Numismatic Book of the Year. Now rewritten for all forms of art, jewelry and collectibles, the 7th Edition of The Collector’s Handbook received the “Extraordinary Merit” award from the Numismatic Literary Guild in 2013 . m Fr. 1218e $1,000 1882 Gold Certificate PMG Very Fine 30.

Slowly Mand with dedication, he assembled an incredible coin collection. He accomplished this through relentless study and at the cost of a significant portion of his limited income as a middle manager for Eastman Kodak, supplemented by his wife’s income as a schoolteacher. In 1954, John mortgaged the family house to travel to Egypt and bid on coins at the King Farouk Collection auction, and he demanded many more sacrifices of himself and his family over the decades. He passed away in 1996 with no apparent regrets, and his long-suffering family deservingly reaped the rewards of his efforts when the collection was sold at auction for more than $30 million. But why did he do it? On our website, HA.com, we auction many different types of collectibles; what started in 1976 as a numismatics business is now the largest auction house founded in America — with annual sales exceeding $825 million in 2019 in categories ranging from meteorites to Hermès handbags. Most of our more than 1 million registered client/bidders collect in more than one area, which we can determine through online surveys, free catalog subscriptions, and multiple drawings for prizes throughout the year. Our clients pursue many different collecting areas, and for many different reasons. One fervent collector of historical documents refers to his passion as “a genetic defect.” The founding father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, a renowned collector in his own right, thought that collecting was really about sex: “The core of paranoia is the detachment of the libido from objects,” he wrote in 1908. “A reverse course is taken by the collector who directs his surplus libido into an inanimate object: a love of things.” But more likely it’s basic human instinct: a survival advantage amplified Forward ● xvi by eons of natural selection. Those of our ancient ancestors who managed to accumulate scarce objects may have been more likely to survive long enough to bear offspring—and people who owned shiny objects may have had an easier time attracting mates. Even today, wealth correlates with longer life expectancy; and could any form of wealth be more primal than scarce, tangible objects? While the thrill of the hunt and a passion for objects — whether it’s Lithuanian first-day covers or Alberto Vargas paintings — is what motivates and excites collectors, there are, alas, some housekeeping chores that must be tended to in order to assure that you derive the most benefit from your collection.
