Yesterday I received my signed copy of Roger Burdette's "Renaissance of American Coinage."  I've only breezed through the pictures so far but this book seems like a fantastic work!

 

 

I've heard good things about this book. There are two different versions, if I've been told correctly. If so, which do you have?

I hadn't heard about the two versions, mine is the one that covers 1905-08, the only other version I've heard of was one that covered the minor denomination coins of the teens, but I am not sure that's out yet. Roger Burdette is a member of the NGC forums (RWB is his ID) and I just PM'ed him and he told me how to order it. Many fascinating things, unfortunately I have so little time and about 12 books on my reading list for the summer!

 

I did a google search and found this info:

 

Renaissance of American Coinage 1905-1908 is the second of three books exploring the coinage redesign of 1907-1921. A companion volume covering the 1916-1921 period (ISBN 0-9768986-0-8, available from the publisher.) was released in October 2005, and a third volume covering 1909-1915 is planned for release in 2007.

 

The book is available direct from Seneca Mill Press LLC, PO Box 1423, Great Falls VA 22066 for $64.95 plus $4.50 postage

 

If you would like a signed copy, just contact Roger through the NGC board and you can request one that is personalized or just signed at no extra cost (you can also just include a note requesting it be signed when you mail in your order).

The mailman was good to me last week! This first one I got in a trade with Vfox (so it's mine as long as he likes the Mexican coins I sent him!). I believe it's an O-102 or O-102a, but I am having a hard time with some of the details to attribute it with certainty.

This next one just arrived today for my type set, and no it does not have an S mintmark on the reverse! :ninja: These small coins are really hard to photograph in NGC slabs!

And this one is just another hole filler in my set, so I figured I'd pick it up while prices are down!

It is the 102 not the "a" model.

Vfox, I am sure Marvin will be happy to trade German coins with those crazy eagles for American coins on his want list (and it's a pretty long want list!). :ninja:

 

I don't know what it is, but these German coins are starting to grow on me a little! :lol:
