Pittman Silver Dollar Production CD

[RWB]

Seneca Mill Press LLC is proud to release a superb CD-ROM of unique silver dollar production records from 1921 through 1928. Silver Dollars Struck Under the Pittman Act of 1918, edited by Roger W. Burdette, includes high resolution images of the original Treasurer’s journal in convenient PDF format.

 

 

The Treasurer’s journal presents daily production of silver dollars at all three mints in their original manuscript format. This is the only complete production record for Pittman silver dollars, yet only a handful of researchers have ever examined these important records since their re-discovery four years ago. Now collectors and silver dollars specialists can examine documents that were completely unknown to van Allen and Mallis, Breen, Taxay, Bowers and others. This is the first and only published edition of these invaluable historic resources.

 

As a special bonus, the full text of the Pittman Act of 1918 is included along with a Federal Reserve Bank discussion of silver purchases since the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. Silver Dollars Struck Under the Pittman Act of 1918 features a newly completed essay on the background of the Pittman Act and the role of Mint Director Raymond T. Baker.

 

This definitive edition was prepared by numismatic research specialist Roger W. Burdette. Original documents from the National Archives in College Park, MD were photographed and adapted for publication. All images are a combination of manuscript and typescript. Although not directly searchable, these image files are easy to use and print for personal use.

 

Silver Dollars Struck Under the Pittman Act of 1918 is available at a special price of $8.95 postpaid from the publisher, Seneca Mill Press LLC. (Regular price is $12.95)

Same price -- although some have suggested they should sell for less...
