From Q. David Bowers comes a book so comprehensive and authoritative that only the ''Dean of American Numismatics'' could have created it! Drawing on the expertise of dozens of specialists from around the world, plus Bowers's own vast knowledge of the subject, the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins includes: Money in Early America, Minting and Distribution, Collecting Colonial Coins, Silver Coins of Massachusetts, British Coins and Tokens for America, Early Issues, American Coins and Tokens from 1783 to 1788, Other Early American Pieces, European Coins and Tokens for America, Early Washington Coins and Tokens, Unrelated Foreign Coins, 19th Century Colonial Copies and Fantasies. This is the new definitive reference on colonial and early American coins and tokens, and related issues.
