The E-Sylum: Volume 6, Number 26, June 29, 2003, Article 3 COLLINS NEW ORLEANS MINT HISTORY Dave Ginsburg writes: "Is anyone familiar with the book, "A History of the United States Mint, New Orleans, Louisiana" by Charles J. Collins, Jr. (Baton Rouge: LSU Printing Office, 1970.)? I first saw a reference to it in the bibliography of a Louisiana State Museum publication, but haven't so far found a bookseller or numismatist who has a copy or has even heard of it. I asked my local library to try getting it through inter- library loan, but the only copy they could find is in the reference collection of the New Orleans Public Library (which they won't lend out.) I think there may also be a copy in the LSU library. I'd appreciate news of a copy for sale, or information about the author, or if a fellow E-sylum subscriber who lives in New Orleans would go to the library and tell me something about the book! Thanks! If you have any news, please contact me at ginsburg.d at worldnet.att.net ." [I assume LSU means Louisiana State University. This is why I love bibliographies and footnotes - you never know what interesting new source might turn up. I thought I had seen every U.S. Mint history published, but I don't believe I've come across this before. If anyone learns more about it, please keep E-Sylum readers in the loop. -Editor] Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
