MINT PROCESSES OF THE UNITED STATES

  A pamphlet I came across a few years ago has me
  perplexed, and I'm wondering if any of our E-Sylum
  readers is aware of it.  Titled "Mint Processes of the
  United States," the 39-page booklet, apparently
  produced around 1890-1900, includes 15 black
  and white photos of mint machinery from ingot molds
  to coining presses, along with a great deal of text
  describing the coining process in detail.  Some of the
  sections were authored by:

  Charles E. Barber, Engraver
  Jakob B. Eckfeldt, Assayer
  William E. Morgan, Coiner
  D. K. Tuttle, PhD, Melter and Refiner

  No editor, publisher or publication date and place are
  listed.  I assume it is a U.S. Government publication
  produced at the Philadelphia Mint.  Does this item sound
  familiar to anyone?
