If so, what were the UNEXPENDED BALANCES OF APPROPRIATIONS and APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR THE MINTS AND ASSAY OFFICES for that year for Carson City?
If you could just take a photo or scan in the pages that would be ideal. Thanks

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
My oldest is 1895. These are great resources for information about the Mint, precious metals and world economies.

(although I suppose that if one could sell 20-30 copies in .pdf form for $20 each, then it might be worth one's time.)
The annual reports from the Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller of the Currency are usually pretty interesting, too.
(If you're interested, the text [not the tables or attachments] of the annual reports of the Secretary of the Treasury from the late-1830s to 1868 are available on the Library of Congress' website - in the Appendix to the Congressional Globe. For you Civil War buffs, the annual reports of the Secretary of War are there, too.)
