Was fortunate to be able to acquire a copy of " The Flowing Hair Silver Dollars of 1794: An Historical and Population Census Study" by Martin Logies of the Cardinal Collection Foundation. Apparently, there were only 25 copies printed in the hardcover blue leatherette binding and another 100 were printed in softcover. This copy is from the library of the Cardinal Collection Foundation and for some reason, the sticker showing an image of the 1794 silver dollar was never applied and is missing. I haven't received it yet, but look forward to seeing whether my 1794 dollar specimen is listed in the reference. The discussion for that coin can be seen here: http://goccf.com/t/408717 The book should look like this with sticker:  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Logies is a CPA from Silicon Valley who purchased the finest PCGS SP66 CAC 1794 silver dollar - and unique for the date with silver plug - for $7,850,000 and sold it in 2013 for $10,016,875. That coin is pictured in the cover of the book. https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...-66-pcgs-cacIN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

Good for you. I recall you had been looking for an example of this book for awhile. I look forward to hearing if your 1794 example is featured in the book - I'm betting it is. Quote:

Books are always good to have. Congrats. Unless I win the lottery I'll never be able to afford a high grade early silver dollar. But I'm absolutely going to get one of the looks like 1794 230th anniversary silver medals this fall. The gold version will be high premium but might increase in numismatic value like the 2021 gold liberty bucking horse medal.

Thanks for your kind comments. @livingwater - thank you for writing about the 2024 flowing hair coins issued by the mint. I didn't know about these but seem like great looking coins that were designed with a lot of thought. https://www.coinnews.net/2023/12/08...get-the-nod/IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
