We are back!!! After a long hard move that took over a year, (at which point I shut down my eBay store over or nearly a year ago), I'm finally back! For now (as of 11/29/12 and in the coming days) I am putting up a few of my best selling items for those that need them for Holiday gift-giving! After the holidays I will begin rebuilding the store adding hundreds of items of which many or most are unique to us since they are produced from our own dies (in the USA by US workers). On my feedback: you might notice that it is not the 99% to 100% that I maintained for over a decade. This is because when I called eBay to have them help me close my eBay store, telling them that I was going on a hiatus for a year or so, they failed to tell me I had three buy-it-now auctions running outside of the store with multiples of each item available. In other words, for over a year, unbeknownst to me, eBay allowed these auctions to run and let bidders bid on them knowing full well that I was on a hiatus, was not responding to messages or filling orders. For over a year, they allowed bids, accepted payments and then refunded the payments to justifiably disgruntled customers for every single item ordered from these three auctions. This resulted in at least a couple of negative feedbacks and a few dollars in PayPal's coffers for fees that I have yet to figure out. 'Nuff said about that! I am now back and I expect that the feedback will be back up 100% in short order. In closing I want to thank those of you (some whom have been with me for decades) for your kind words of encouragement, cards and phone calls checking to see if I was OK. I am … and country living is great! :) Ken Potter Celebrating Over 50 Years In Numismatics! An Indexed Guide Book Of Silver Art Bars - Fifth Edition & Price Guide Of Silver Art Bars - First Edition Over 350 8-1/2 x 11" pages Over 140 8-1/2 x 11"pages! Mint Condition! Both Books In Mint Condition! Bound with a black comb so that they lay flat!!! Long out of print and difficult to find, the 5th edition was finally back as a limited-run 2008 reprint that in itself sold out in just a few weeks of 2008. The book was again reprinted in a very limited edition in 2011 with just a few of those left today. The book was originally published by J Archie Kidd and edited by Steve M. Rood in 1991. It contains over 3,700 photos and listings for over 6,000 art bars, varieties, errors and cancelled dies. It offers prices and mintage figures (when known) and other historical information that a collector of these miniature pieces of art may want to know. Just before the late great Archie Kidd passed in 2011 h e sold me his remaining supplies of this book both bound and some unbound (that he knew I had the equipment to bind). I have sat on several cases for over a year and am just now offering them for sale. I promised him that until I got to the end of the run (at which point I will let supply and demand dictate price) that I'd keep them at reasonable prices and NOT the $200 or more that this book often sells for. The 2009 first edition of The International Association Of Silver Art Collectors Price Guide Of Silver Art Bars contains up-to-date prices for all the bars that are illustrated in the 5th and 6th editions of An Indexed Guide Book Of Silver Art Bars! So that there is no confusion, the guide is strictly an updated price guide and contains no illustrations. Note: If you own the sixth of An Indexed Guide Book Of Silver Art Bars -- the is fifth is the Companion Book that goes with it. You need both the 5th & the 6th to have it all. NOTE: It was Archie's wish that only one of these books (the 5th edition) gets sold per customer. We do NOT want to see one or two folks hog these all up at these prices only to see them on eBay or Amazon a few months later at $200/+ as was the case in the past. I cannot police this but ask that you honor Archie Kidd's wishes. Pay me securely with a... read more
