[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 5362302, member: 73489"][B][COLOR=#0000ff]6th Edition is now out.....[/COLOR][/B]I figured I'd refresh this thread rather than start a new one since I am finishing reading the 4th Edition. Love the book, even though I am not into Morgan's bigtime like some of you. Bowers' repetition of the lousy striking/surface quality of the New Orleans (O) Mint compared to the Philly, Carson City, and SanFran Mints was certainly drilled into my head. Loved the format, with all the talk about what happens in various years in numismatics and around the country, what businesses we know today were being formed, famous people doing things, etc. The first 100 pages covers the history of the Morgan Dollar...minting and striking....collecting stories....and Treasury and other hoards. Really interesting stuff !:D For those of you who have the 4th and 6th Editions, I noticed it's about 18 pages longer...was wondering if it is worth getting. Not sure if he added bits here-and-there or added 1 or 2 new chapters that account for most of the extra new pages.[/QUOTE]
