Where do I go to learn more??

Wisconsin

I am interested i early bust coins and was wondering where I can go to read or research the old minting process of these coins and any other information on how these old coins were made. Is there a website or book on the subject?

Thanks, Jay

There are several books. One good one is "The History of the U.S. Mint" by Don Taxay (which usually can be found on ebay).

A classic book on ebay and one of the first written exclusively about the mint. If you have $50-60 this is well worth it. I have one and read it almost every year.

You may be able to pick this book up essentially new for around $35. I bought an over-print copy of the first, and likely only, edition about seven years ago for $30 and bought it directly from the publisher. There had been quite a few available at the time.

Cameron's suggestion is a good one... I used it for a research paper... you can also get it from the ANA Library if you are a member.
