Legendary numismatist and Whitman author, Q. David Bowers, has a new coin guide coming out. A Guide Book of Barber Silver Coins will be released on September 22, 2015, the 20th release in the Bowers Series of numismatic guide books.
Coin Update reports:
According to a Whitman Publishing press release, the book will feature 800 images and cover 277 major varieties of the three denominations, organized by date and mintmark. Bowers also provides guidance on how to determine quality and value, gauge the market, and understand these coins within the context of their historical moment, a time the author describes as, “the most interesting and evolutionary period in American history.” Readers will find an account of the life of Charles Barber, along with background on the mints and mint directors who oversaw the implementation of his designs.
