The Official Red Book: A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars

Americans love to collect the beautiful and historic Morgan silver dollar! No other coin conjures

up so much of the romance and adventure of the United States. In this expanded seventh edition of his best-selling book, the “dean of American numismatics,” Q. David Bowers, offers an engaging portrait of the country’s most popular classic coin.

You’ll learn what to look for when you buy, how to grade your coins, how to cherrypick rare die varieties, and ways to become a smarter collector. This updated edition also includes a thorough market analysis for each date and mint, a detailed look at the minting process, a study of Treasury releases and other hoards, and more.

More and larger illustrations of coins, including new galleries of toned coins and error coins. An updated appendix on counterfeit Morgan dollars, based on the work of Beth Deisher. A new appendix on the 1921–2021 anniversary coins.
