Here is the most complete and the most valuable reference published, to date, on the Morgan and Peace silver dollars.

In another chapter, historical letters are quoted to recreate the difficult times surrounding the design and development of the Morgan silver dollar. Error coins and die varieties are discussed and illustrated in a separate chapter. Also included is a much expanded chapter with descriptions and coin photographs of over 800 Morgan die varieties. Of special interest recently was the exciting sales of the Carson City Morgan silver dollars by the General Services Administration.
