This is posted for member information and interest. Nothing is for sale.

Here is a composite image of the covers of three numismatic research books that have been completed or will be completed soon. At left is the Inco-Gould private pattern book. I've posted questions and asked for research leads on this and other message boards. (Yes - the feedback was of immense help!)
Center is a new research book covering the strange coinage experiments and outlandish claims of James Barclay, Wheeler Hubbell ('goloid', stellas), Dana Bickford and others. At far right is the result of a 12-year research project about Anna Williams and her association with a silver dollar designed by George T. Morgan.

NONE of these are available yet. PM if you have a question that is unsuitable for the public message board.

    Looking forward to a couple of those. Just got the 36-42 proof coinage book and am loving it.

    Thanks. The “Girl on the Silver Dollar” research book suggests a promising sequel in novel format!

    Glad you are enjoying it. It's packed with information - most of it new. Also, don't hesitate to use parts of it for a club presentation, etc. - educational use is fine. :)

    "Girl on the Silver Dollar" has taken more than 12 years to research - but there's a little more to do. The story segues into the origin of the Morgan dollar, which is included. (text, not a coin...)

    You sent me an early draft of "Girl on the Silver Dollar"- more like an article- years ago and I thought it was a great story.

    cmerlo1 - Yes, I asked several people to give me their opinions. The suggestions have been incorporated and portions re-evaluated. It's not a big book, but it should be interesting and rewarding to readers.

    Here's an excerpt from comments by one of the peer reviewers of "Fads, Fakes & Foibles"

    "Wow! What a tour de force. My head is still spinning from trying to absorb the research and detailed accounts you have presented to weave this into an absorbing story of these occurrences....The various chapters blend well together and form an interesting account of the skullduggery and ignorance of the cast of characters."
