Overview
A Guide Book of Washington Quarters, 2nd edition is an in-depth study of our nation's most popular modern coin. It features the colorful historical research that readers expect from Q. David Bowers (the "dean of American numismatics"), including a biography of the United States' first president, the early years of the quarter dollar, and the history of the Washington quarter series starting in 1932. Bowers shares secrets of being a smart buyer in today's market. He analyzes each coin, year by year, from 1932 to 1998, and focuses a comprehensive section on each quarter from 1999 to date. Full-color illustrations, current market values, a grading guide, and an appendix on the America the Beautiful silver bullions coins add to the book's reference value. This is a must-have for every collector's library.
"David Bowers's writing has given me a thoughtful background to the world of coins. Kudos to the U.S. Mint and to the many coin collectors who recognize the significance of these tiny works of art."
-from the foreword by Barbara Fox, U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program coin designer
