Does anyone here have any suggestions on where I can find a book or publication or article about the Copenhagen mint . I'm trying to better understand the mints production practices on how they produced there coins such as the use of die's and how they punched and repunched dates in the working dies to make over dates ...Basically info on how they did thing back in the early 20th century

    Here is the only result I get when I look up "Copenhagen Mint" or "Royal Danish Mint" in the ANS Library database.
    Here are the results for looking up "Der Kongelige Mont."
    Looks like you need to learn Danish if you want to find out anything in detail.

    I'd be surprised if the information is available anywhere, but your best bet is to try asking Morten Mortensen. He has an extensive library and inventory of Scandinavian numismatic literature and knows his stuff.

    Contact him through his website. He's speaks English, so no problem there.

    And for your amusement, check out the images of his library after the bookshelves collapsed. Like I said, he has a lot of books!

    OMG! It looks like nobody was hurt in that catastrophe.

    But books on the stove? I think I’d find some other place or risk a bigger catastrophe.

    A numismatist living a Brooklyn apartment once told me he had coin books over his bathtub. I never saw a photo, but I can believe it. We are a crazy bunch.
