MORE ON SF MINT SUPERINTENDENT GEORGE B. GILLIN

I saw that you had already received some replies to Bruce Smith's request for info on George B. Gillin. There is actually a Family Tree posted on Ancestry.com with him listed (Born: Aug. 8 1895, Died Oct 28 1981). I also found this interesting newspaper article from 1952 about the San Francisco mint. There are photos of Mr. Gillin within. It is from the Sunday, December 14, 1952 Oregonian (Portland, Oregon).

Thanks! At the bottom left is a closeup of an image of Gillin from the first page. Click on the images to view or download larger versions from our Flickr archive. Contemporary newspapers are a great source of information on numismatic figures. -Editor
