OFF THE BEATEN PATH: MINT DIRECTORS PATTERSON AND NUMISMATIC CONSERVATION

While searching for other things I came across two publications 
that I hadn't yet heard of - they may not be known in numismatic 
circles, but may hold useful information. Both were offered for 
sale on ABEbooks.com.

"The Robert Patterson Family -- Eminent Philadelphians, Scholars and 
Directors of the Mint: 1743-1854" is a 276-page PhD dissertation by 
Carolyn Myatt Green (University of Georgia, 1974), available as a 
print-on-demand publication.

"Look After the Pennies: Numismatics and Conservation in the 1990s" 
by Goodburn-Brown was published by Dana Archetype Books in 1998. 
A seller described it as a "useful guide to the processing of coins 
from excavations, which will be valuable reading for conservators 
and archaeologists, and museum curators."
