Title
Alaska Coin Exchange your source for great coin values
Description
Alaska Coin Exchange was formed in 1992 by Mike Nourse, a collector of United States coins since 1974. In the beginning, I started out by running 1/6 page ads in Coin World, but quickly moved up to 1/3 page ads, then full page ads placed once a month. Back then, Coin World was seventeen inches tall compared to the current fourteen, so I was able to list about 1300 items in my monthly full page ads.
In addition to the ads, I acquired a large mailing list by participating in Coin World's reader service program, in which interested individuals would circle numbers on a card to request information from a particular advertiser. Within a year, I had a mailing list of 1000 collectors receiving my monthly catalog.
The catalog started out as a 24 page booklet the size of a sheet of paper folded in half horizontally. In fact, the catalog was constructed from five sheets of white paper and one piece of colored paper which functioned as the cover. The six sheets were printed on both sides, and the coins were listed in three columns on each page. The six pages would be folded horizontally, stapled twice in the center, then stapled shut for mailing.
