5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Guide Book for Anyone Interested in Double Eagle Gold Coins, September 9, 2006

This review is from: An Official Red Book: A Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins: A Complete History and Price Guide (Official Red Books) (Paperback)

Dave Bowers has shown us all once again his superb writing skills and in-depth Numismatic knowledge with this fairly new release on what just may be the worlds most popular gold coin, the US Double Eagle. All that is missing from this superb date by date analysis of the US double eagle gold coins guidebook is up to date pricing information, which of course has seen many changes ( most to the upside) since the release of this book.
Whether you are investing in these coins or collecting them , this is one of the guidebooks you need to study this facinating and important series of US gold coins. As a professional coin dealer and specialist in double eagles, I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in these coins. Buy the book before you buy the coins!

I've just started collecting Double Eagles and this book offered many interesting details and excellent photos of all Double Eagles. There is good historical background offered also.

This was purchased as an informational guide for someone who is a collector. Overall, the product is wonderful, shipped quickly and received in good condition. My only complaint is that the print is very, very small. Otherwise, this book is an excellent resource.
