The set includes mint reports from 1796 to 1822 and 1827, assay coins reserved by the various mints including Charlotte, Dahlonega, and New Orleans from 1840-1851, and other items relating to the assay commission. There are about 2,000 pages of images, plus introductory and background material.

 

[…through about including a magic decoder ring for 19th century handwriting, but couldn’t find one…]

Master discs have been sent for replication. Should have the sets ready in about 2 weeks.

 

Note - the DVDs contain images of meeting minutes written in manuscript, or typed after 1911. The manuscript PDF files cannot be searched with your computer.

 

Each year is in a separate file, so it is not difficult to find what you want.
