A Guide Book of Peace Dollars by Roger W. Burdette with Barry Lovvorn
(Valuations editor, :Lawrence R. Stack), 2008, 277 pages, $19.95.
This is another in Whitman’s “The Official Red Book” series. The
first half (176 pages) tells the full story, replete with
illustrations recovered from Mint archives and other sources. The
second half is the year-by-year price guide, with linear matrices of
prices and certified populations, both by grade. High-magnification
pictures illustrate the details of varieties. The Bibliography of 71
sources cites the usual suspects – Taxay, Breen, DeLorey, Julian, et
al. – but also the collected papers of Eva Bertrand Adams, Hermon
Atkins MacNeil and Henry Morgenthau, Jr., among others, including the
National Archives and Records Administration holdings for three U.S.
Presidents.
