It's not often that a numismatic book quickly sells out. Whitman Publishing reports that the first printing of its new Fifth Edition
Morgan Silver Dollars book is gone. -Editor
Whitman Publishing announces that the fifth edition of Q. David Bowers’s Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars is temporarily sold out
due to high demand. More copies are scheduled to arrive in mid-October.
“Collectors can call our Customer Service number at 1-800-546-2995 to order their copy of the book, and it will be shipped immediately
once it’s in stock,” said Whitman president Mary Burleson.
The 304-page book is a history and price guide covering the silver dollars minted from 1878 to 1921, with updated valuations, text, and
market data. New research covers counterfeit error coins and other hobby topics.
The book’s year-by-year catalog is an analysis by date and mintmark of more than 100 coins in the popular series, priced in up to eleven
circulated grades and three levels of Proof.
“Part of the strong demand for this edition comes from the recently revealed discovery of hubs, dies, and models for a 1964 Morgan
dollar,” said Whitman publisher Dennis Tucker. Until the Guide Book was published, the hobby community was unaware that these items exist
deep in the vaults of the Philadelphia Mint. A hub for the 1964 Morgan dollar is featured on the cover of the book, with more photographs
and details of the discovery inside. “This exciting announcement was made in late August, and demand for the book skyrocketed in
September,” Tucker said. “We have thousands of more copies being shipped from our printer now.”
The Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars is available from booksellers and hobby shops nationwide, and online (including at
www.Whitman.com), for $19.95. American Numismatic Association members receive 10% off their purchase when ordering directly from Whitman
Publishing.
