CARSON CITY BOOK UPDATED
Jim Halperin writes: "Enjoyed the latest E-Sylum as always.
Your readers might be interested in knowing that the newest
edition of Doug Winter's book, Gold Coins of the Carson
City Mint, 1870-1893, just arrived from the printer last
week. For more info: http://www.CarsonCityGold.com."
The following is an except from the Doug Winters' comments
on his book from the above web site:
"My first book on Carson City gold coinage was published in
1994. It was an immediate success and quickly became the
standard reference on the series. Within a few years, it had
become scarce and a collector's item.
Ironically, as the first book became more valuable, it became
less useful. Some hoards of Carson City gold coins had
entered the market in the mid-1990's and changed the
population figures that I had suggested for a number of issues
Some great old collections came on the market and a number
of new Condition Census pieces made my old listings obsolete.
I decided to totally revise the book in 2000 and made it similar
in format and design to the Charlotte and Dahlonega books
that I had published in 1998 and 1999 respectively."
