EDITIONS OF STEWART'S MINT HISTORY

"Jesse Watson's 1926 book on "The Bureau of the Mint: Its History, Activities and Organization" has an extensive bibliography. He lists the 1924 edition of Stewart's "History of the First United States Mint, its People and its Operation" published by the author in Camden, NJ. He also lists a 1925 edition published by William J. Campbell in Philadelphia. I can't recall seeing a previous reference to a 1925 edition. It is not in Clain-Stefanelli, Davis or Sigler.

Can any of our astute E-Sylum readers confirm the existence of the 1925 edition or explain Watson's error in listing it?"
