By Richard Snow, Foreword by Tom DeLorey & Introduction by Q. David Bowers. Flying Eagle and Indian Head cents, minted from 1856 to 1909, were once the most popular, most widely circulated, most plentiful coins in everyday American life. Just about every kid had a pocketful of ''Indian pennies,'' and older folks used them as well. Several of them could buy a newspaper, or candy, or a streetcar ride. Drop a cent into the slot, turn the crank, and you would be dazzled by an automobile racing around a track, or a boxing match, or a vaudeville show. Indian Head cents were anywhere and everywhere.Now, in the fully updated 2nd edition of A guide book of Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents, Rick Snow examines these beautiful coins by date, mintage, production, survivability, collecting challenges, and variety. His research is bolstred by the usual high-quality Bowers Series treatment: an engaging overview of the series by the ''dean of American numismatics.'' Q. David Bowers; high-quality photographs in full color; market values in multiple grades, including Red, Red/Brown, and Brown Mint States; certified population data; and a wealth of background information.

From Fred Reed, the award-winning author of Abraham Lincoln: The Image of His Greatness, comes Abraham Lincoln: Beyond the American Icon. In this fascinating and lavishly illustrated volume, Reed continued his exploration of the ever-changing popular depiction of Lincoln - the idealized, the idolized, the iconic - the man and the myth - bringing our understanding up to the present day.More than 1,400 images, both famous and obscure, show Lincoln on coins, tokens, medals, stamps stocks, bonds, and paper money - as well as paintings, sculptures, magazine covers, advertisements, cartoons, movie stills, and other diverse media. The narrative is engaging and thought-provoking. The illustrations - some legendary, some never before published - show us how America has seen its most honored president, how that vision has changed over the years, and what is says about our great nation.Nearly 150 years after his death, Abraham Lincoln consistently ranks at or near the top of every poll of America's best, most admired, or most popular president ever. In 2009, for Lincoln's 200th birthday, Whitman Publishing debuted Fred Reed's outstanding work, Abraham Lincoln: The Image of His Greatness. Beautifully illustrated in full color, with hundreds of private and public images, Reed explored the popular depiction of Lincoln as ''ideal, idol, and icon.'' He showed the martyred president on coins, tokens, medals, postage stamps, and paper money - and also in oil paintings, magazine covers, popular advertisements, political cartoons, and other diverse media.This groundbreaking book won three national awards and was distributed in bookstores across the country. Now, in 2012, comes the follow-up - Abraham Lincoln: Beyond the American Icon. Bigger, with more pages, and even more images (1,400-plus), plus more award-winning analysis and commentary. This new book promises to be another best-seller and newsmaker!
