Double Dimes Double Dimes – the United States Twenty-cent Piece

Lane J. Brunner and John M. Frost are pleased to announce the publication and availability of their new book, Double Dimes – the United States Twenty-cent Piece. The culmination of 30 years of research on the series, this book is the comprehensive reference on the short-lived twenty-cent piece.

With nearly 400 photographs, this highly-illustrated reference provides extensive coverage of varieties and every known die marriage, including die states, emission sequences, and rarity ratings. The book provides the collector with a wealth of new information never before published, and hopes to instill enthusiasm in new collectors. Other topics include the history of the series, patterns, a discussion on misplaced dates, collecting the series, grading, errors, exonumia, and survival estimates. A few interesting anecdotes round out the book with stories of discovery.

The book will debut at the ANA World’s Fair of Money in Rosemont (Chicago) Illinois the week of August 4, 2014. Author John Frost will be in attendance, and books will be available at the show. John can be reached at the Meeting of the Liberty Seated Collectors Club (LSCC) on Thursday morning, at the LSCC Club Table #1240 on Thursday and Friday, and on the bourse floor throughout the show.
