It all started in a damp and hot room in Philadelphia 233 years ago when 56 delegates of the Second Continental Congress joined together as patriots and declared their freedom from the world's superpower - Great Britain. Their ambitions were well warranted and their goals for the new nation were enormous. Never before in the history of the world had a government been organized to serve the people and to allow them to flourish with their new found freedom. America was indeed different and it continues to be a great experiment in democracy that has prevailed for centuries. One of the first major objectives of the new nation was to establish a federal coinage system to replace the use of foreign coinage that proliferated during the colonial period. Newly struck coins were a huge source of pride and every detail of their metallic canvas has great significance and amazing stories that can be shared. America Through The Eyes of a Numismatist is the journey through the development of the United States through the coins that were struck along the way. It starts with the striking of the Continental Dollar in 1776 and it ends exactly 233 years later with the striking of the new Bicentennial Lincoln cent this year. You will find that every coin has a rich and enduring history of our nation that anyone can appreciate. The book offers a fresh glimpse of United States history through an entirely new perspective and it is shared by one of the nation's leading numismatic authorities. America Through The Eyes of a Numismatist will hit bookshelves in the spring of 2010. We invite you to take the journey into your history.
