BOOK OFFER: U.S. LIBERTY HEAD DOUBLE EAGLES

CoinWeek published an article recently by Q. David Bowers, co-founder of Stack's Bowers Galleries and numismatic director of Whitman Publishing LLC. In it, Dave has a discount offer on his book on the Liberty Head Double Eagles. Be sure to read the complete article online for Dave's interesting commentary on the collecting of these coins. with permission, we're excerpting the part about his book offer. -Editor

U.S._Liberty_Head_Double_Eagles,_cover I found that we have in storage a small number of copies of my book, U.S. Liberty Head Double Eagles: The Golden Age of Coinage, that I wrote a few years ago. It is hardbound, has 376 pages, and is fully color illustrated. I wrote this in coordination with Robert Galiette, whose magnificent collection we sold at auction.

Each double eagle, year by year, is discussed in detail, accompanied by an expanded panorama of life in America at the time. You’ll read about the Gold Rush in California, the “Pikes Peak or Bust” excitement of the late 1850s, the financial turmoil of the Civil War, the gold strikes in Cripple Creek and the Klondike, and more, plus social and political events of the time. I guarantee it will be a “good read” or, as the New York Times likes to say, a “page turner” (not quite sure what that means, but it is favorable).

The list price of this book $49.95. I offer you one (limit: just one) for $25 plus $5 shipping to U.S. addresses. This offer is subject to availability, for once all are gone, that will be it.

To order: Call our Wolfeboro office at 866-811-1804 to purchase using your credit card. Or, you can send a check for $30 made out to Stack’s Bowers Galleries to SBG/Book Department, PO Box 1804, Wolfeboro, NH 03894.
