THE MORGAN AND PEACE DOLLAR TEXTBOOK by Wayne Miller is the culmination of his sixteen years' experience as a silver dollar collector, dealer, and investor. Included are a detailed definition of terms; descriptions of silver dollars and hoards, including the fabled Redfield hoard; a comprehensive analysis of coin market cycles and their effects upon silver dollars; proper coin storage; counterfeits and how to detect them; major silver dollar varieties; and much more. An entire chapter is devoted to the grading of silver dollars, with particular emphasis on the more than twenty factors which can affect the quality of uncirculated silver dollars, such as striking pressure, basining of the dies, worn dies and hubs, annealing, bag-marks, carbon spots, rusted dies, mint carelessness, etc. Prooflike dollars are defined in another chapter, with a thorough discussion of the different types of prooflike dollars and their causality. The majority of the book is given to a date-by-date analysis of the 122 different Morgan and Peace dollars. Colors photos of the finest silver dollar set ever assembled are used for illustration of each date, including several finest-known specimens. An entirely new chapter provides, for the first time anywhere, a comprehensive analysis of proof Morgan and Peace dollars, with a special focus upon the excessively rare and little-known branch mint proof issues. Again, photographs of each coin include several finest-known specimens. THE MORGAN AND PEACE DOLLAR TEXTBOOK by Wayne Miller includes all the information you need to fully participate in the exciting world of silver dollars.
