The silver Peace dollar of 1921 celebrated the end of the most traumatic war in human history. In the Guide Book of Peace Dollars, award-winning author Roger W. Burdette explores these fascinating and collectible coins, covering every date and mint mark from 1921 to 1935. He studies the mysterious 1964-D Peace dollar, as well as Proofs, patterns, trial pieces, errors and miss trikes, countermarks, die varieties, and famous collections. Burdette explores the origins and history of the Peace dollar (including the American Numismatic Association's involvement), early designs and casts, the coin's production process, ways to collect, preservation, the market effect of hoards and meltings, and unusual examples, including some from the personal collection of a former Mint director! The book's features are rounded out by a coin-by-coin analysis with market values, studies of die varieties, biographies of key participants in the Peace dollar's story, a Van Allen-Mallis cross-reference, a glossary, a bibliography, and more.
