WHITMAN ANNOUNCES NEW U.S PATTERN BOOK

The following is from the U.S. Patterns web site: "In October
Whitman Publishing, LLC, will release the ninth edition of Dr. J.
Hewitt Judd's classic United States Pattern Coins, updated with
new research, market prices, and expanded text by Q. David
Bowers."

At 352 pages, the fully illustrated ninth edition is 16 pages longer
than the eighth (published in 2003). Q. David Bowers, the "dean
of American numismatics," with the aid of preeminent experts in
the field, builds upon the strong foundation originally laid by Dr.
Judd in 1959.

Saul Teichman, Robert Hughes, John Gervasoni, Julian Leidman,
and Andy Lustig are among the coin dealers and researchers
who have contributed to the new edition. Hundreds of crisp new
high-resolution photographs complement the text, with many images
provided by the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Foundation, the Smithsonian
Institution, Princeton University, and other premier institutions
that hold these rare coins.

The book includes new appendices that examine pieces struck
outside the Mint; pattern coinage metals; and a gallery of unusual
sets and curiosities. It includes new research on authenticity,
provenance, populations, rarity levels, recent auctions, and
retail values. "

"The book will premier at the Whitman Coin and Collectibles
Expo in Atlanta, October 6. It will be available at coin shops
and bookstores for $29.95."
