"When I started writing this book, I thought it would be straightforward and simple, says award-winning author Q. David Bowers, the most prolific numismatic writer in American history. Instead I found these coinage series to be as complex and nuanced as any of the classics a delight for collectors!
Research assistance from 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 behind-the-scenes insight into their creation.
A Guide Book of Modern United States Dollar Coins is destined to be the standard reference for hobby newcomers and experienced collectors alike.
