Includes 1 phototype of a medallion of Washington, 3 steel engravings, 1 collotype portrait, 24 pages of Levytype half-tones. A number of editions of this book were produced. In this revised edition plates differ from the original, and 1 Gutekunst is replaced by a print from another firm, Wells and Hope Co. The important illustrations are the early Levytype half-tones of the coins. Like many early examples, these simple plates show uneven execution. -- Hanson collection catalog, p. 86.

The U.S. Mint is the source of the little copper, silver, and gold objects of material culture and value that numismatists collect, study, and catalog. It is the sole manufacturer of the nation's legal-tender coinage, and its products are used every day by millions of Americans nationwide. As a repository its facilities safeguard more than $300 billion in national assets. It employs nearly 2,000 people, including its own police force. This unique book unearths a treasure trove of numismatic knowledge, including the history of the Philadelphia Mint and every Mint branch, plus private and territorial mints; information on historical and modern minting procedures; a study and price guide of historic medals and other collectibles commemorating the Mint; data on every director of the Mint and superintendents for every branch; and illustrated behind-the-scenes looks at the modern Mint and its facilities.
