The ten and twenty dollar gold pieces designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens are generally considered among the most beautiful and artistically accomplished coinage of all time. The development of these designs was understandably a difficult process, one that took years longer than it would have from another, less-accomplished sculptor.

The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens is an issue-by-issue examination of these two artistically inspired series of gold coins. Each date and mintmark is reviewed with up-to-date information, much of which has never been previously published. The book is based on the extraordinary collection of Phillip H. Morse. When Morse’s collection was sold in November 2005 it brought $19.2 million with many records broken for both rare and common coins.

Full color throughout, 253 pages.

“The Morse collection book is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful collection of the nation’s finest coins. Saint-Gaudens died before his masterpiece could be distributed to the public, but this book is solid proof that his creations are rightfully cherished and will be for generations to come.”
–Wayne Homren, E-Sylum Books

Pull a few pennies from your pocket. Take a close look. You may be holding an oddity that the U.S. Mint did not want you to find. Yet millions of them have found their way into general circulation. Many are worth hundreds of dollars. Experts call these anomalies “die varieties.”

Looking Through Lincoln Cents aims to keep the collector informed of the many recent developments in collecting Lincoln cents with special emphasis placed on die varieties. This book features hundreds of detailed photographs designed to aid the collector in finding, detecting, grading and eventually valuing Lincoln cent varieties. The author also points out a number of minor varieties that are often mistaken for rare varieties, or are simply too common to be considered collectible.

Looking Through Lincoln Cents does not just address die varieties, but all aspects of the Lincoln cent series required for a serious overview of the Lincoln cent series. For new and experienced collectors alike, this valuable reference will vastly expand your understanding of the Lincoln cent series and the many valuable die varieties found within it. (more…)
