What are some good books on Peace Dollars?

ccr

I`m putting together a set of Peace Dollars. Other than a few basic facts that I know I wanted to know a little more about them. I remember Q David Bowers wrote one about Morgans and Peace Dollars. So I appreciate any suggetions on any books on the subject and thanks ahead of time for the suggestions.

The authority is the VAM book. The title actually is:

The Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan and Peace Dollars
"This monumental work, long considered the "bible" of VAM collecting, contains photos and descriptions of almost 2000 Morgan and Peace dollar varieties. Written by two pioneers of the VAM hobby, Leroy Van Allen & A. George Mallis, the VAM Book is an essential component of any reference library. "

You can find them on ebay for $60

In addition to the VAM Book, there is an out of print book by Wayne Miller, The Morgan And Peace Dollar Textbook, and there is also The Top 50 Peace Dollars, by Jeff Oxman.

There's also a book by Highfill, but I can't remember the name, unfortunately, the book is at home, but I'll post an update later.

Unless, someone beats me to it of course.

Thanks for bending over backwards guys! When I get a couple extra bucks I`ll certainly invest in these books.

The Comprehensive US Silver Dollar Encyclopedia is the one by Highfill. Never leaves my desk. It's too heavy to move around

I recently purchased "The Top 50 Peace Dollars" by Oxman that Gilbert referenced, and I have been very happy with it. It's a fairly fast read, with excellent photos, and in one day you can aquire enough knowledge to be a pretty dangerous Peace Dollar cherrypicker.
