NEW BOOK: GOLD COINS OF NEW ORLEANS MINT 3RD ED.
Author Doug Winter has published a new edition of his book on New Orleans Mint gold. Here's some information from his web site.
-Editor
The brand new Third Edition of Doug's reference book, Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint: 1839-1909, is now available for purchase.
This hardcover, 384 page, full-color book is printed here in the United States. For now, there are 100 copies in our office in Portland, OR. We are in the process of numbering and signing them, and preparing them for shipping to their new home in your reference library.
The first 50 copies we had printed for the ANA were snapped up quickly, and the rave reviews have started to come in. This is truly a "coffee table" book, the size of a large auction catalogue, with the most current information on New Orleans gold available, including rarity, population, and detailed die variety descriptions with color photos.
The book lists for $69.95, "signed, numbered and shipped."
Doug had some at the recent Philadelphia ANA show, including some special versions made just for the show.
-Editor
I wanted to have something special at the 2018 Philadelphia ANA show and I had a crazy last minute idea: for the presentation I was giving the US Gold Coin Collectors Club, why not produce a limited edition of special hardcover copies of my brand-spanking-new, soon-to-be-released, third-edition reference titled Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, 1838-1909?
In case you’ve missed yet another facet of the current Technology Revolution, book printing has changed dramatically in the past few years and you can now print small runs of super high-quality books (soft and hardcover!) via online American printers. This meant that I could quickly and efficiently print a special run of 50 copies for the 2018 ANA.
I shipped the books from my office in Portland Oregon to the convention center with just one unforeseen bump: the ever-helpful union workers charged me $450 to load, move and unload four boxes.
I saved 20 copies for the above-referenced presentation, offered 15 for sale, kept copy #1 and #2 for myself and Jenna, and shipped 13 from my office after the show to my best clients as a “thank you.†I’d like to think that the very limited 2018 ANA print run of this important book will be recognize, some day, as a numismatic literature rarity.
If you didn’t have a chance to buy a copy from me, here are a few images of what you missed. Note the special presentation label with each copy being signed and numbered especially for this show.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that I will be offering hardcover and softcover copies of this book within the next month or two. So if you missed the 2018 ANA edition, you can still have a copy of this important new book.
Ordering information will be on my website (raregoldcoins.com) soon.

NEW BOOK: FLYNN'S SEATED LIBERTY DOLLARS, 2ND ED.
Kevin Flynn provided this information on the new edition of his book on Seated Liberty Dollars. Thanks!
-Editor
Authoritative Reference on Liberty Seated Dollars, Second Edition by Kevin Flynn, 8-1/2 * 11, 272 pages, softcover only. Published by Brooklyn Gallery Coin & Stamps.
In 2014, I wrote the first edition on the Liberty Seated Dollars, which sold out quickly on the limited printing. Since then I researched and wrote books on the Liberty Seated Half Dimes, Twenty cent pieces, and Quarters. In researching these other series I uncovered new archive records that helped provide a better understanding of the history of the series, which is included in the Liberty Seated Dollar second edition.
My primary focus now is research and a book on all restrikes of all series. The research on the Liberty Seated Dollar series was completed and added to the second edition. For the Liberty Seated series this includes the 1851, 1852, 1853, and 1854 dollar proof restrikes, 1863 and 1864 In God We Trust patterns, 1865 IGWT patterns, and 1866 No IGWT patterns. One of the primary objectives was to determine approximately when these coins were struck and sold. Many of these restrikes used the same reverses and used for the proof coins of the same series. Using the diagnostics of the proof coins and comparing to those on the restrikes provided an accurate estimate on when they were struck. The auction records from 1850 through 1900 were studied, which helped understand when these restrikes were offered by sale and if a pattern could be seen on who was distributing them. These auction records are presented in the appropriate sections for each of the restrikes.
This book still includes all of the doubled dies, misplaced, dates, repunched dates, and repunched mint marks as seen in the first book.
Brooklyn Gallery will be publishing and distributing the second edition. You can contact them at Brooklyn Gallery Coins & Stamps, 8725 4th Ave, Brooklyn NY11209, by email at info at brooklyngallery.com, or phone at 718-745-5701. Retail is $69.95 plus shipping. Brooklyn is offering a special on this book until November 1st, 2018 of 20% off or $55.95 plus shipping. Please speak to Joe at Brooklyn if any questions.
NEW BOOK: 2019 NORTH AMERICAN COINS & PRICES

-Editor

Inside, you’ll find:
Descriptions and photos for coin issues of the United States, Canada and Mexico
