This exciting new work collects together for the first time the evidence for hoards, buried treasure and other finds of numismatic material from the Americas. An inventory enumerates approximately 900 coin finds, chiefly from the United States, but also from Canada and most other countries in the Americas. This is supplemented with a listing of 150 finds of American coins outside the Americas. Each entry contains the find spot, date of discovery, date of deposit, detailed description of the contents, and a bibliography. The inventory exploits the numismatic, shipwreck, and archaeological literatures, newspapers, and law reports of treasure trove cases more thoroughly than has ever been done before.

Excerpt from Pledges of History: A Brief Account of the Collection of Coins Belonging to the Mint of the United States, More Particularly of the Antique Specimens The writer will save himself some criticisms, by saying, that he has had neither the skill, nor the zeal, to fulfil this duty in a technical and scientific method. The explana tions which follow are intended not so much for those who are, as those who are not, familiar with ancient coins. And if, after all the pains that have been taken, some errors should appear, it must be remembered that the subject is peculiarly exposed to them. If so triļ¬‚ing a performance were worth the formality of an inscription, the writer would do himself the honour to inscribe it to his superiors in office. William E. DU bois, Assistant Assayer. U 8.
