BOWERS SEEKS PHOTOGRAPHS FOR NEW BOOKS
Coin World columnist and author Q. David Bowers is busy at
work on two new specialized books, one to cover Morgan
silver dollars 1878-1921 and the other to treat the series of
$20 gold coins 1849 to 1933. In a note to Coin World, Dave
stated that the Morgan dollar manuscript is nearing completion
and is expected to be finished in the third week of September,
and the double eagle text is scheduled for a month later. Both
will contain historical information, collecting suggestions and
advice, market information, illustrations of dates and mintmarks,
and other details, each volume intended to be a comprehensive
study of the series. Whitman Publishing Company will issue the
books for numismatic as well as mass-market distribution.In connection with these two books Dave is seeking to borrow
historical illustrations relating to the design, coinage, storage,
distribution, and any other aspects of Morgan dollars and double
eagles, including, for dollars, distribution during the Treasury
releases of 1962-1964. Credit will be given for any items used.Contact: Q. David Bowers, P.O. Box 539, Wolfeboro Falls,
