Locating new material for the Newman Numismatic Portal is typically a pretty methodical process, but sometimes serendipity plays a part. While searching online literature listings recently I came across a reference to an 1837 article in the British publication Mechanics Magazine titled "The New Coining-Press Of The United States Mint, Philadelphia." I passed the information on to NNP Project Coordinator Len Augsburger and he discovered that the UK article is a reprint of an article from the November 1836 Journal of the Franklin Institute. It's now been added to NNP. Here are a couple of the pages. -Editor
