Gold-coins

This is an excellent historical and numismatic review of the Carson City branch mint and coinage. The book is extremely well-written, interesting, informative, and timely. Anyone interested in gold coins, Carson City branch products, or coins in general should find this an exceptional and easy read and an indispensable resource. Kudos to Doug Winter; please publish more!

As with other collectors of Carson City Gold Coinage I too eagerly awaited my copy to arrive. To have the knowledge and experience of Doug Winter at your fingertips, when considering the purchase of any CC Gold, provides the information needed to be an astute collector. His indepth analysis of each denomination by date is invaluable when making a determination whether a particular example is below, average, or above average for the grade and to what degree it is a date and/or a condition rarity. This book is a must have for anyone who is interested in the collecting of Carson City Gold Coinage.

A wonderful book with accurate, awesome information that
will definitely please the reader of this book. Doug
Winter and James Halperin are two of the highest regarded
experts on mintmarked gold known today...
Pick it up! You won't be disappointed.

We think it was a very good story about a girl called Cam. Her real name is Jennifer, but most people call her Cam because she has photographic memory. We recommend that you read this book.

We love David Adler's books. We plan to read all of them that we can. My seven year old loves this Cam Jansen Series. Lots of adventure! These books are great for boys and girls!

I have read some of his books but I actually stumbled on one of his best books! I really was a serios fan of his books until now. now this is what the books about:Cam's box camera vanishs from the science fair,and valuble gold coins are disapeared from a coin shop.Cam's sure that the vanishing acts are simliar to it. Please read this great book or one of his other best work:)

The Gold Coin is the story of Juan, a thief of experience, and his journey to find an old woman who gives away gold coins. In his quest to find her to steal away her assumed riches, Juan is forced to experience the helpfulness of strangers, depend on their kindness and enjoy with them the feeling of an honest day's labor. By the end of his travels, he has been transformed by the goodness of the people he has met. When he finally comes face to face with the woman he had intended to rob, he is a different person. Instead of taking her gold, Juan offers to mend her roof. He learns that giving to others allows him to feel rich. The Gold Coin is a great story to read aloud. It is warm and inspiring.

Alma Flor Ada is an author who writes both in Spanish and English. Her work focuses on action over description. Her communication of the values and qualities of the culture in which she immerses her readers makes her books notable. The Gold Coin tells of a man who is twisted in body and spirit until he is transformed by honest hard work, and caring decent people. The reader is introduced to an inspirational character, Dona Josefa. Although the thief doesn't meet her until the end of the story, it is her model of goodness that shines throughout the story. The illustrations admirably reflect the changes the thief undergoes as his body becomes straighter and his face less pale and angry. There are many surprises seeded throughout the story and the ending is wonderfully satisfying. Although this is an original tale, the writing has the flavor of a folktale and the culture and landscape of Central America are authentically portrayed.

This book is a guide excellent for the gold & platinum coins collector of the Russian Empire. Exhaustive and reliable. Good illustrations. Highly recommended for all collectors of russian coins.

Despite little previous knowledge of this subject, I came away with profound respect for both these coins and the men who struck them. This book was extremely well written and done in a way that it appeals to all levels: rank amateur such as myself or professional coin dealer like my friend John who read the book at the same time I did.

This 2volume book is an excellent reference work on Gupta gold coins with the Garuda banner. Volume II lists a comprehensive collection of coin images-many from private collections and Museums not published before.

This book is a must for anyone studying Gupta numismatics!

David Akers is the ultimate authority on this subject. His extensive knowledge and research are evident in this comprehensive encyclopedia of US Gold coins.

I couldn't put the book down, it was filled with excitement and adventure. I think boys AND girls aged 9-12 would enjoy this book. Here is a little bit about it... -Playing a game of house tag leads Tait, Katie and Marcus with a riddle about a treasure. Mr. Schiff a greedy pawnbroker tries to find the treasure also. The children find the gold, but Mr. Schiff found it too. Tait and Katie with their lives at stake get rescued by Marcus. They all rush out of the underground place. But what happens to Mr. Schiff, Uncle Bennie's evil brother? Pam age 10

This book is not a story of the making of gold coins, but rather it is a more specific catalog of the collection housed in Washington D.C. at the Smithsonian. This is, quite simply, the only substitute I am aware of for going to see the gold collection personally. It contains many high quality black and white photos, as well as one page of somewhat less detailed full color images. This is definitely a book for the serious numismatist, but if you are so inclined it is not to be missed.
