I'll know in a month or two how that is working. Probably not too well. I bought the autographed version but received no information about how to download the PDF. Didn't even know it was available until you mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have received a code # to enter on the Wizard site. This will permit a PDF download. The purpose is to give collectors a searchable "index" without anyone having to have a CD reader or USB drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 If they gave me one I never saw it. Perhaps the order number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Bob Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I need to take a look at my order. I don't remember getting a code either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenntucky Mike Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I don't remember a code but I could have very well missed it, I wasn't looking for it. I don't need the pdf, the hardcopy is all I want/need and time to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus Arrius Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 @Conder101 I can assure you the percentage does not approach the number of active coin collectors -- minus one. ME. As my fellow collector @Oldhoopster recently learned, undoubtedly to his amazement, I, Quintus Arrius, do not own, or read, a single book devoted to the hobby -- and haven't since the Red Book devoted a section to the numismatic relics recovered from the S. S. CENTRAL AMERICA. To be clear, this includes newspapers, magazines, pamphlet, treatises, dissertations -- anything in print. If per chance, I happen to come across something in New York's main library (which my sister in California recently informed me is now open) I will follow through. I know this admission is an unmitigated Disgrace, but it is the truth. 🐓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look on your receipt. If you can't find it drop me a note with your email and I'll send it to you. Same for anyone else who bought the FF&F book and did get the download code.

CarltonWilmot Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) I do read such books, but not often. For example, I've read Red Whitman guide books in the last few years. Also, I read Jefferson Nickels books, and I think that's all. To be honest, I wish I had more time for reading, but Im a student, so my main focus is on education, not on the hobby. I study law, and you can imagine how hard it is. And I also have a course in forensic anthropology, which is very interesting but so complicated, especially when it comes to writing. But I have this source saved https://paperap.com/free-papers/forensic-anthropology/, and when I need some informational help, I can find articles there. They are like examples for me and show me what I can write. After graduation, I want to work as a lawyer, but I love coins and everything connected to it, and I hope I'll manage to cope with my work and hobby.

GoldFinger1969 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I haven't bought a coin book in a while...but I have bought some famous auction catalogs and others that had lots of sales of Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles, my main focus. I've probably bought 4 or 5 auction catalogs the last year or so, including the Menjou 1950 sale. Price, Morse, Duckor -- all Saint heavy collections -- also purchased. Last book I bought was 2 years ago, RWB's Saint-Gaudens DE book. Plan on re-reading it when I can read it in 2-3 weeks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
