About The Author
Roger W. Burdette
Roger W. Burdette began his coin-collecting journey filling cent and nickel folders from pocket change, later turning his passion toward coin photography and, ultimately, numismatic research. Over decades of study, he has uncovered significant new information about U.S. coinage history.
He is best known as the author of the award-winning Renaissance of American Coinage trilogy, which earned three consecutive Numismatic Literary Guild “Book of the Year” awards (2006-2008). Burdette has also published specialized digital works, including Annual Assay Commission: United States Mint 1800-1943 and Silver Dollars Struck Under the Pittman Act of 1918. His writing has appeared widely in Coin World, The Numismatist, and other major publications.
Burdette contributes regularly to the Guide Book of United States Coins (Red Book) and numerous other Whitman titles, including works on type coins, nickels, silver dollars, and double eagles. He also served as a contributor to Judd’s United States Pattern Coins.
In 2008, he was appointed to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, advising the U.S. Treasury on coin and medal designs. Burdette lives near Washington, D.C., with his daughters.
