OTHER ODD NUMISMATIC COLLECTIBLES

  Hal V. Dunn writes: "Documents from the various U.S. Mints
  should be added to "Coin Bag Collecting and Other Strange
  Afflictions."  There is a wide variety of these interesting and
  often overlooked items.  There are bullion deposit  receipts,
  internal receipts (for example, from the superintendent to the
  coiner), assay reports, letterhead stationery for each
  department within the mint, etc.  All of these have a number
  of printing varieties -- at least for those from the Carson City
  Mint.  And within such a collection one can build a collection
  of autographs of mint  officers.  And another odd-ball: souvenir
  plates depicting a mint building (have three in my collection)."

  [Actually, none of this seems odd to me.  I have some of
  these myself with the exception of the souvenir plates.
