5.0 out of 5 stars The only complete reference for rare dollar varietys --, November 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan and Peace Dollars (Paperback)

This book is a must have for serious silver dollar collectors -- VAM collecting is not as popular as it will someday be, and now is the time to get at it! -- This book has the complete refernce list for VAMS but is only a companion to the newer and updated "Top 100 VAMS" booklet available now. The only drawback to this book is the authors have (once again) changed their rarity and popularity format and this huge volume does not correspond correctly with the Top 100 reference.... Untill they pblish a newer version of this book, it's a must have and will probably pay for itself with the discovery of scarce varietys you already have and will find should you decide to seek them out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent history of Morgan and Peace dollars and much more!, July 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Comprehensive Catalogue and Encyclopedia of U. S. Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars (Hardcover)

This is a standard text for any Morgan Dollar collector. Extremely strong in historical aspects. Currently reprinted in 4th edition and availiable. Date and mintmark analisis on each coin and listing of over 2200 Vams. Which are die pairs primarily for Morgan Dollars. Some information in this book is incomplete and/or incorrect. Which is not surprising with a fairly massive reference book. An excellent reference text which I constantly use!

This is the only book of its kind! There is no other reference like it for the different die varieties of these popular dollars. If you buy this book, also purchase "The VAM Keys", a list of the top 100 Morgan Dollar varieties.
