The Bowers Series is a popular Whitman Publishing library of numismatic books, each covering a different segment of the hobby. This volume explores modern U.S. dollar coins, including Eisenhower, Susan B. Anthony, Sacagawea, Native American, and Presidential dollars. These coins, successors to the Morgan and Peace dollars, have been minted from 1971 to the present in various sizes, alloys, and themes. They are enjoyable for beginners and offer challenges for specialists.
Award-winning author Q. David Bowers, the most prolific numismatic writer in American history, notes that these coin series are as complex and nuanced as the classic issues. Research assistance from coin dealers, collectors, U.S. Mint officials, and hobby organizations such as the Ike Group complements Bowers's study. The book covers history, mintages, grading standards, die varieties, collecting tips, market analysis, and more. Hundreds of full-color images and historical photographs provide detailed and behind-the-scenes insight.
A Guide Book of Modern United States Dollar Coins is a standard reference for both new and experienced collectors.
