Large addition to NNP's US Mint records 0

[RWB]

Last week the NNP completed a short term document digitization project at the National Archives in College Park, Md. This work added more than 76,000 ( ! ) pages of press copy letters written to all of the U.S. Mints between 1902 and part of 1921, and stored in RG104 Entry 235. Much of this material has been resting, untouched, for more than a century. Interested numismatists can view these and other NARA materials on the Newman Numismatic Portal at: https://nnp.wustl.edu/Library/Archives?searchLetter=U.

Sample letters have been posted elsewhere on this forum for your enjoyment and comment.

Hi Roger,

  To those coin collector's who want to take the next step and actually learn about their series of choice this is a SUPER reference.

Much thanks for sharing it!

What a great idea - learn about the coins, their place in history and how they were used instead of just, how much they are worth. Education makes this hobby Soooooo much more interesting,
