A Guide Book of Washington Quarters, 2nd edition is an in-depth study of our nation's most popular modern coin. It features the colorful historical research that readers expect from Q. David Bowers (the "dean of American numismatics"), including a biography of the United States' first president, the early years of the quarter dollar, and the history of the Washington quarter series starting in 1932.

Bowers shares secrets of being a smart buyer in today's market. He analyzes each coin, year by year, from 1932 to 1998, and focuses a comprehensive section on each quarter from 1999 to date.

Full-color illustrations, current market values, a grading guide, and an appendix on the America the Beautiful silver bullions coins add to the book's reference value. This is a must-have for every collector's library. 352 pages • 6 x 9 inches • Softcover • Full color "David Bowers's writing has given me a thoughtful background to the world of coins. Kudos to the U.S. Mint and to the many coin collectors who recognize the significance of these tiny works of art."

—from the foreword by Barbara Fox, U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program coin designer
