In 1989, the first edition
of Doug Winter's book Gold Coins of the New Orleans
Mint: 1839-1909 was published. It popularized these
under-appreciated coins and introduced many new collectors
to the field.
In the ensuing two decades, much has changed in the
New Orleans gold market. Newly discovered hoards have
changed the rarity levels of certain dates while others
remain very difficult to locate.
Doug Winter, the author of ten other
books on United States gold coinage and the preeminent
expert on 19th century branch mint issues, has produced
a masterpiece that makes New Orleans gold coinage readily
accessible to the beginner or the expert. This book
contains all new information that cannot be found anywhere
else and is complimented by hundreds of beautiful color
photos.
Do you want to know which New Orleans
eagle is the rarest in high grades? How about the die
characteristics for a certain quarter eagle for this
mint? Or what about the all-time auction record for
a specific New Orleans half eagle? Destined to become
the standard reference book on this series, you'll find
all this information and more in Doug Winter's Gold
Coins of the New Orleans Mint: 1839-1909.
