A website has been created to serve as
a message board and data repository for anything U S Mint research
related. The website is www.USMintResearch.com. The
website went live in August, 2012, and focuses on the First and Second United
States Mints from 1792-1839, Mint personnel, policies, procedures and
operations, research at the National Archives and other facilities, and U S
coins prior to 1840. Why 1792-1839? This covers all U S coins struck after the
Coinage Act of April 2, 1792 and prior to the Seated Liberty series.
Eventually
the website will be expanded to include the other Mints and additional series of
U S coins.
Participants are encouraged to post
documents, research, images, pictures, in-progress articles, and theories, and
engage in discussions.
Access to the website is currently
restricted. In order to gain access, you have to be invited. The
website requires a secure login.
If you are performing research and want to participate, please send an

I'll be presenting a talk at the
Baltimore Coin show for the JRCS Regional meeting. Details to follow.
Had to double check my crazy schedule to see which coast I would be
on--and it looks like this one will work out fine as I'm going to be
home for that month in Virginia.
I'll bring along some of my Draped Bust and Capped Bust dime cuds for discussion and examination.
