1794 DOLLAR BOOK PUBLISHED
Martin Logies writes: "I just thought the readers of the E-Sylum
might be interested to learn of the publication of my new book
exclusively on the topic of the 1794 Silver Dollar.The topic of the 1794 Dollar has been of great interest to me
for more than the past decade, and something that has absorbed
an enormous amount of my research efforts. Being rather a
numismatic bibliophile, I sought out to assemble a library that
would include every auction sale in which a 1794 dollar
appeared. Thanks to Karl Moulton, the John Ford Library sale
and others, I accumulated enough research to put together a
picture of the surviving population of 1794 dollars. That
research has now been compiled into a new book -- The
Flowing Hair Silver Dollars of 1794: An Historical and
Population Census Study."The book consists of 212 pages (8-1/2" x 11" format), with
nearly 200 separate images (many more if you count obverses
and reverses separately), and information on every individual
specimen of 1794 dollar that I was able to positively identify.The first printing (soft-cover) of the first edition will be released
at the ANA show in Pittsburgh next week. Hardcover editions
are expected to be available sometime in September. Here are
links to a few preview pages of the book, posted on the PCGS
