For lack of a better forum, I'm gambling that this question can be considered here. Most of you are familiar with the APS circuit books. Is there something analogous for coins? If so, a link would be much appreciated.

The postage to move such a coin book around would be insane, I'd think. Never heard of such a thing.

APS Circuits use the "small" USPS flat rate boxes. Same postage (about $10) whether holding 8 ounces of stamps or 3 pounds of coins. Granted fewer coins would fit per cubic inch, but if it were limited to $5 retail and above, it might be worth it.

The stamp circuits are hit and miss. Sometimes I struggle to find anything I want and pay more in postage than I buy, but most times I find enough to make it worthwhile and enjoyable. The extra cost pays for the convenience and flexibility (not rushed like at a show), and I can see both sides of the item before buying, unlike the Internet.

The same benefits should be true for coins. Maybe use the Medium flat rate boxes to fit a larger number of coins in it, for $17 postage though. Gotta buy a lot for that overhead to be worthwhile.
