ONLINE MINT ARCHIVES PLANNED

A front-page article by Paul Gilkes in the August 22 issue of
Coin World outlines the U.S. Mint's plans to make more
archival research material available on the Mint's web site.
This could be a real boon to numismatic researchers.

"During the American Numismatic Association's World's
Fair of Money July 27 to 31 in San Francisco, the Mint's
booth showcased an exhibit from the Office of the Historian
featuring a collection of unique historical artifacts, many of
them on public display for the first time."

The exhibit included daily coinage ledgers from the
Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco mints 1925-1935,
a New Orleans Mint ledger for 1838 to 1893, and a
Jefferson galvano. The mint's web address is
U.S. Mint

Does anyone know the name of the Mint's chief historian?
Could we encourage them to become and E-Sylum
subscriber?
