Released in May, 1997 to very enthusiastic reviews, this is the first book ever written about the fascinating gold issues struck at the Dahlonega (Georgia) Mint between 1838 and 1861. Awarded "Best United States Coin Book of 1997" by the Numismatic Literary Guild.
Co-written by Doug Winter and Michael Fuljenz, this book serves as an excellent introductory guide to the Liberty Head double eagles struck between 1866 and 1876. During this era, a total of 31 issues were produced at three mints: Philadelphia, San Francisco and Carson City.
The gist of this book can best be described by its subtitles: "How to form great collections of 19th and 20th century United States gold coins" (and) "Prudent advise for the beginning and advanced collector and investor."
In order to have a truly complete library on United State gold coins, this book is essential. It contains information that can be found nowhere else. This is the only book ever written specifically about the gold coinage of the New Orleans Mint, and it has been a favorite with collectors, dealers and investors since its release.
