FEATURED WEB SITE

There's a first time for everything, and I believe this will be the first time we repeat a featured web site - the United States Mint: http://www.usmint.gov/ On April 21st, your editor had the pleasure of visiting Philip Diehl, Director of the United States Mint, in his Washington, D.C. office. The purpose of the visit was to promote the return of the U.S. Assay Commission, a concept being promoted by the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists under the leadership of Chairman Don Carlucci, who arranged our visit.

In our conversation Diehl noted that on May 4th, the mint web site would feature a live "webcast" of the unveiling of the new dollar coin design in a ceremony at the White House, with First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton officiating. So, be sure to check out the mint web site on Tuesday, May 4th.
