5.0 out of 5 stars Winter Wonderfully Cites Carson Coinage, October 17, 2001

By 

Alan Herbst (Washington D.C.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gold Coins of the Carson City Mint (Paperback)

As with other collectors of Carson City Gold Coinage I too eagerly awaited my copy to arrive. To have the knowledge and experience of Doug Winter at your fingertips, when considering the purchase of any CC Gold, provides the information needed to be an astute collector. His indepth analysis of each denomination by date is invaluable when making a determination whether a particular example is below, average, or above average for the grade and to what degree it is a date and/or a condition rarity. This book is a must have for anyone who is interested in the collecting of Carson City Gold Coinage.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you can't have the coins, you have to have the books!, August 30, 2001

By 

Mansco Perry (Twin Cities, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gold Coins of the Carson City Mint (Paperback)

Over the past year, I have become acquainted with Mr. Winters books on gold coins. I found them to be insightful, informative, and just plain fun. Unfortunately I was unable to get a copy of his first Carson City gold book, Gold Coins of the West. When I found out that he was updating, I immediately put in an order. When I finally got it, I read most of the book the first night. The first part of the on the Gold Rush and the founding of the Carson City Mint, and its subsequent political demise was interesting history, even for the non - coin collector. If you have any desire to learn about Carson City gold coins, this book is invaluable and will probably become the ultimate source book. The book is full of insights about the market and availablity of Carson City gold. If you have an interest in U.S. minted gold coins, the books by Doug Winter are an absolute must. Even though you may not be able to afford the coins themselves, Mr. Winters' books are the next best thing.
The only disappointment I have with this author is that he hasn't written a comprehensive, all-inclusive, volume on U.S. gold coins. Hopefully, he will....SOON!

This is an excellent historical and numismatic review of the Carson City branch mint and coinage. The book is extremely well-written, interesting, informative, and timely. Anyone interested in gold coins, Carson City branch products, or coins in general should find this an exceptional and easy read and an indispensable resource. Kudos to Doug Winter; please publish more!
