Cdncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 999 Posts	Posted 09/16/2019 10:54 pm I recently added my first Morgan dollar to my collection and I have fallen in love. I want to get more details on the history, varieties, etc but am unsure of the best place to start. Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 09/16/2019 11:02 pm The Comprehensive Silver Dollar Encyclopedia author John Highfill . Expensive but worth every nickel . Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 09/17/2019 07:02 am The Morgan dollar Red Book by Q. David Bowers is a good starting point as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Cdncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 999 Posts	Posted 09/17/2019 07:14 am Thanks for the recommendations so far. I see a book on ebay called Morgan Dollar- America's Love Affair With A Legendary Coin. Is this worth getting? Report this Post to the Staff
James Hicks Valued Member 179 Posts	Posted 09/17/2019 09:07 am Depends. How much does it cost. Check out Mbarrcoins.com. I think they have Morgan dollar books. They have peace, and they are well priced. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/17/2019 09:21 am Good grief! Is the Comprehensive Catalog and Encyclopedia of Morgan and Peace Dollars by Leroy C. Van Allen & A. George Mallis no longer the top reference (or at least on of the tops)!? Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 09/17/2019 10:35 am A lot of the VAM stuff is on line as well . Alluding to an earlier comment in this thread , if you wish to become a SERIOUS Numismatist no amount spent on proper reference material is too expensive! A hundred dollar numismatic book , yields priceless amounts of information. A hundred dollar coin purchased without knowledge yields endless grief! Report this Post to the Staff

Still In Circ Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 09/17/2019 2:12 pm Bowers book is great. It's well detailed and worth the money. Mega red on Dollars coming out in a couple of years maybe good. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 5:13 pm I love John Highfill's book myself, also Wyane Miller's book (just for the amazing collection photos of some really high end coins and monster toners). I made a list of all the Morgan dollar books I have in my collection, it's a long, list, with a lot of very specialized books beyond the average or new collector, but a good list to start with just so you know whats out there; http://goccf.com/t/152565 I wrote that list up about 6 years ago so there are some books not in it that have come out since. John Highfill has a new edition of his encyclopedia now, which I haven't got (yet). "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
