Regarding Rachel Street's request for an image of U.S. Mint Director George N. Eckert, Dave Ginsburg
writes:
Evans’ Illustrated History of the Mint has an image of George Eckert. Here’s a link to an edition on Google Books. The image is on page 100 of the
1893 edition.
I cropped the above image from the page. It's grainy, but at least an image has been located. Thanks! QUICK QUIZ: Here's the
complete photo plate. Without looking at the caption, who can name the other Directors? -Editor
To read the book on Google Books, see:

Thanks, I appreciate it! We’ve also received a response from Bob Julian—the numismatic grapevine sure works quickly!
