Buffalo and Jefferson nickels are among America's most widely collected coins, cherished for their artistry, history, and collecting challenges. In the second edition of A Guide Book of Buffalo and Jefferson Nickels, Q. David Bowers--America's most prolific numismatic author--brings his signature research, storytelling, and analysis to these popular series.

Inside you'll find a complete study of Buffalo nickels (1913-1938) and Jefferson nickels (1938 to date), richly illustrated in full color with high-resolution enlargements for overdates and varieties. Detailed mintages, specifications, and up-to-date market values across multiple grades (including Full Steps for Jefferson nickels) make this an indispensable reference.

New appendices explore the culture and legacy of nickels beyond the coins themselves: hobo nickels, the American Buffalo gold coin, and quirky "nickel amusements" of the past. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just beginning, this volume deepens your appreciation and makes you a smarter buyer of these enduring American coins.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of U.S. nickels with the updated second edition of A Guide Book of Buffalo and Jefferson Nickels, part of Whitman's renowned Red Book Series.

XII. the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow: Part II. Roman and Provincial Coins: Cyprus - Egyp
<p>This catalogue completes the publication of the great eighteenth-century collection of William Hunter in Glasgow University, an important stage in the British SNG project. It illustrates the remaining 2581 Roman provincial coins produced in the East from Cyprus to Egypt, about half of which were produced at Alexandria.</p><p>For over three hundred years the Roman Empire had no uniform standardized 'Euro'. In addition to the Roman Imperial coins, hundreds of provincial cities stamped symbols of their own cultural identity and civic pride on the coins they issued for local use. The coins published in this substantial volume offer a wealth of information about many aspects of local life in that period, including religion, architecture and administration.</p><p>Part I (978-0-19-726282-5&#x3b; 2004) published the coins issued in the West and Asia Minor.</p>
