Sorry to be a pain, Mint researchers, but, how would I access George Eckfeldt's journal?

RKKay

Thanks again.

Many of us would like that.

Do we know where his journal is?

Of interest, George Eckfeldt was in possession of the John Adams Medal obverse die and it was sold by his son-in-law John Pedrick to Joseph Jacob Mickley, sometimes known as the Father of American Numismatics. The US Mint purchased the die from Mickley's estate. Did Pedrick sell any other of Eckfeldt's possessions to Mickley?

Here's the article in the American Journal of Numismatics on this:

Mint paid $6 for the Adams die.

How did Saul and Alan M get copies of some of the notes? Are they just randomly scattered through the Archives and it's just a hit-and-miss thing?

They are not in any public archive. They were bought at auction over a decade ago. The present owner provided some excerpts to USpatterns.com.

Ahhh! Thanks. I've been in a hole for a while.
