Numismatic researcher and author John W. Dannreuther’s extensive and in-depth 1,254-page, hardcover third volume of United States Proof Coins: Volume III, Silver is at the printer and can be ordered directly from the author.

The 8.5 inch by 11-inch Volume III reference is being printed in two parts — Part One spans 684 pages and Part Two covers 588 pages. Dannreuther estimates the combined parts weigh 15 pounds.

The volumes will be housed in a slipcase.

The tome spans all dates and varieties from silver 3-cent pieces (1851-1873) through silver dollars (1792-1922).

Part One addresses silver 3-cent pieces through quarter dollars, while Part Two is dedicated to half dollars through dollars. Each page in both parts is illustrated in full color with large photographs of each date and close-up photos of every known variety. Significant examples with provenances are listed for every variety as well. Some dates have differences beyond their date placements, so these issues will have full illustrations of each’s variety’s attributes.

Each issue will appear with multiple pages offering mintages, known surviving examples, die varieties by JD attribution numbers, cross-reference attributions from other known references, obverse and reverse die characteristics, die states, significant examples and pedigrees, date placements, and rarity ratings

Dannreuther anticipates delivery of the books before Christmas.
