Description
“When I began writing this book, I thought it would be straightforward and simple, says award-winning writer Q. David Bowers, the most prolific numismatic author in American history. As a substitute I found these coinage series to be as complex and nuanced as any of the classics a delight for collectors!
Research the help of longtime coin dealers and collectors, U.S. Mint officials, and hobby organizations such as the Ike Group have rounded out Bowers s own active study of these coins. His detailed coverage includes history, mintages, grading standards, die varieties, keys to assembling a high-quality collection, market analysis, and more.
Hundreds of full-color images illustrate the coins themselves, and historical photographs provide rare in the back of-the-scenes insight into their creation.
A Guide Book of Modern United States Dollar Coins is destined to be the usual reference for hobby newcomers and experienced collectors alike.
