Nov 1, 2015

Upon first glance, I was curious as to the wisdom in consolidating these three classic series into one book, but I will say that after reading “A Guidebook of Mercury Dimes, Standing Liberty Quarters, and Walking Liberty Half Dollars” by Q. David Bowers, I am in agreement that these coins not only fit well together, […]

Given this fact, it would appear impossible to improve upon, but Whitman has done exactly that.

Carson City Morgan Dollars Featuring the Coins of the GSA Hoard by Adam Crum, Selby Ungar and Jeff Oxman

Apr 27, 2014

Morgan Dollars are one of the most popular series in United States coins. So popular in fact that many numismatic references have been written about them.

Nov 7, 2013

While I am generally not fond of published price guides, I admit that they have a place in the collector’s world. They provide a snapshot of the coin market on the day that they were published and when compared year by year, they can give a state of that market at that point in history. […]
