BOWERS SEEKS HIGH-END LIBERTY SEATED INFORMATION

Dave Bowers submitted this request for assistance from E-Sylum readers. Can anyone help? Thanks. -Editor

1872 Liberty Seated Half reverse 1872 Liberty Seated Half obverse

I am in the home stretch on the manuscript for A Guide Book of Liberty Seated Silver Coins, to be issued by Whitman Publishing LLC. This will cover the history and background of each of the denominations plus will have a listing for each date, mintmark, and types or date and letter sizes within each listing. It will not be a substitute for the technical die varieties listed by Messrs. Valentine, Greer, Fortin, Briggs, Brunner, Frost, Bugert, Wiley and others, but will no doubt draw a lot of attention to those studies as well as to the Liberty Seated Coin Club. Whitman will be distributing many copies nationwide.

It will have information concerning the mintage and distribution of each date and mintmark and estimated rarities within several grade categories.

To finesse the number of higher-end coins known among rare issues I desire to correspond with anyone having PCGS or NGC certified coins of which fewer than 10 or so are believed to exist in grades of MS-64 and above. On request any information supplied will be kept in confidence. I will reply to all inquiries.

As the manuscript draws to a conclusion I will send copies to interested specialists for peer review, corrections, and suggestions. I have been in correspondence with several in this regard. Len Augsburger has written the foreword to the book.

Thank you for any interest you may take.
All good wishes,
Dave Bowers
