We are lucky to have a coin historian with Mr. Burdette's credentials on this forum.


From the CCAC Website:

Like many collectors, Roger W. Burdette began the hobby of coin collecting by attempting to fill cent and nickel albums from pocket change. During the 1970s he specialized in coin photography and produced the images for popular advertisements and hobby books. After a pause of several years, Mr. Burdette became interested in numismatic research. During more than ten years of research he has uncovered a wide array of new information including many previously unknown events.

Mr. Burdette is the author of three critically acclaimed numismatic research books: Renaissance of American Coinage 1905-1908, Renaissance of American Coinage 0916-1915and Renaissance of American Coinage 1916-1921. Each book was awarded the prestigious NLG Book-of-the-Year Award. The trilogy covers the origin, design and initial production of our nation’s most beautiful coinage. He is also the author of A Guide Book of Peace Dollars released by Whitman Publishing in November 2008.

He has written numerous articles for Coin World magazine Coin Values magazine, Coins magazine and The Numismatist. He is a contributor to the Guide Book of United States Coins, the 8th and 9th editions of J. Hewitt Judd’s United States Pattern Coins, Experimental and Trial Pieces, and the USPatterns.com website. He has also contributed to Whitman Publishing LLC books on double eagles, nickels, type coins, silver dollars, quarters and others, and contributed to David Lange’s Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels.

Mr. Burdette lives near Washington, DC with his daughters and canine editorial advisor, Ivan. He is employed by a nationally known nonprofit research and development corporation.

    Sorry, I have no world class Peace Dollars to share but would like to add That RWBs input to this forum is often more insightful and knowledgeable than most of what I read on here and I have gained much knowledge from him. Regardless of what I think of all his posts I greatly respect his willingness to put in time, energy, and passion for a hobby he obviously cares deeply about. He said what he thinks and others stated what they think, so let's just be grownups and respect our differences and move on.

    I highly recommend the book- the research he did, particularly on the 1964 Peace Dollar, is amazing, and makes for a great read.

    He posted a 1921 one time that blew my my mind as far as strike was concerned. It was unreal. I sent him a PM begging to buy it, I'd STILL love to buy it. Gorgeous raw slider if I remember right. Didn't matter. It was so incredibly well struck it made literally every other 21 I've ever seen look like mush.

    In remembrance of that special coin, I'll post my best 21. Good by overall strike standards, but junk compared to the one he showed off once. I literally have never seen anything like it before or since.

    (and if he's watching, I'm STILL really want to buy it.

    RWB's book on Peace Dollars looks like a good one to pick up and have in the library.

    This is one I like. But then again, I really like Peace Dollars. I hope to chat with RWB (if he has time) about Peace dollars in the near future ATS.

    Very Nice!

    I hope RWB comes back to join us one day. He is a very valuable member of our community. It is awesome when you have members like this that are willing to share their knowledge with everyone...even little people like me. There are plenty of authors and researchers that do not participate here. It is a shame to have someone like Roger go *poof*. Thank you Roger! I enjoyed your numerous contributions. image

    His book is very informative and he is an asset to the hobby.

    Picked this one up in a bulk deal a few years ago for $9.

    It's been cleaned, but the price was certainly right!
