Summary: Winter Wonderfully Cites Carson Coinage
Comment: 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.

Summary: If you can't have the coins, you have to have the books!
Comment: Over the past year, I have become acquainted with Mr. Winters books on gold coins. I found them to be insightful, informative, and just plain fun. Unfortunately I was unable to get a copy of his first Carson City gold book, Gold Coins of the West. When I found out that he was updating, I immediately put in an order. When I finally got it, I read most of the book the first night. The first part of the on the Gold Rush and the founding of the Carson City Mint, and its subsequent political demise was interesting history, even for the non - coin collector. If you have any desire to learn about Carson City gold coins, this book is invaluable and will probably become the ultimate source book. The book is full of insights about the market and availablity of Carson City gold. If you have an interest in U.S. minted gold coins, the books by Doug Winter are an absolute must. Even though you may not be able to afford the coins themselves, Mr. Winters' books are the next best thing.
The only disappointment I have with this author is that he hasn't written a comprehensive, all-inclusive, volume on U.S. gold coins. Hopefully, he will....SOON!

Summary: A must have for any coin collector!
Comment: When I decided to start collecting coins again five years ago I heeded the advice I heard from many, 'Buy the book, before you buy the coin' and it has paid off time and again. Douglas Winter, a recoginized expert in American Gold coins, and James Halperin have created a book that is a MUST HAVE if you are collecting Carson City Gold coins. Fact filled, informative and up to date, this is a book that is the BEST resource when it comes to Gold coins minted in Carson City. I use it time and time again and never go to a coin show or attend an auction without consulting it first. Bravo Winter and Halperin!
