About the Author

Douglas Winter was born in New York City. He became interested in coins at an early age. By the time he was thirteen, Winter was a fixture at Eastern coin conventions where he would exhibit his collection and buy and sell coins. After graduating from college, Winter went to work for Steve Ivy Rare Coins in 1982. He served as Director of Research for this company and was responsible for writing many of its auction catalogs, fixed price lists and promotional material. In 1985, Winter established his own firm, Douglas Winter Consulting (renamed Douglas Winter Numismatics in 1992), specializing in rare and choice American gold and silver coins struck in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, Winter is regarded as one of the leading experts in the field of United States gold coins. In addition to buying and selling coins to other dealers and collectors, Winter��s professional activities have included research and writing. He has now written four books on branch mint gold coinage (Dahlonega, Carson City, New Orleans, and Charlotte) and books on Type One, Type Two and Type Three double eagles. He plans to produce a revision of his New Orleans book in the near future.Douglas Winter is a member of all leading numismatic organizations including the Professional Numismatic Guild (PNG).
