U.S. MINT DIRECTORS WHO SERVED TWO TERMS

Inspired by the appointment of David J. Ryder for a second term as Director of the U.S. Mint, last week I asked, "Did any previous Mint Director serve two nonconsecutive terms?" -Editor

Pete Smith writes:

Henry Richard Linderman served two non-consecutive terms as Director of the Mint. So did George E. Roberts.

Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee Chair Mary Lannin writes:

I am looking forward to meeting newly-appointed US Mint Director David Ryder. However, he would not be the first Mint Director to serve separate terms.

James Pollock, A.M., L.L.D.
Pennsylvania May 1861–September 1866

James Pollock, A.M., L.L.D.
Pennsylvania May 1869–March 1873

Richard Henry Linderman, M.D.
Pennsylvania April 1867–May 1869

Richard Henry Linderman, M.D.
Pennsylvania April 1873–December 1878

And in a father/son combination, we find:

Robert Patterson, LL.D.
Pennsylvania January 1806–July 1824

Robert Maskell Patterson, M.D.
Pennsylvania May 1835–July 1851

It's easy to get confused by the father-son Robert Patterson duo. The most complete list I've found online is on Wikipedia. Our "two-timers" ("encore performers"?) are listed below. Thanks, everyone. -Editor
