Thanks to Roger for scanning all these - it's pretty tedious work!
Hmmm....Not sure if it's "pretty" but it certainly is tedious work. (Also hard on the back. E-217 vol 5 has pages that are 24 x 14-inches -- I had to set up the volume then photograph 'blind.')
Also, in Vols 1,2 and 3 there are occasional notes about minor coin production for the month, but no details. These comments are usually at the bottom left of the right-hand page (odd numbers)
Thanks for the notification Roger... Cheers, RickO
Thank you for the information.
Refer to the above documents in relation to bogus claims regarding 1895 dollars being dated 1894.
Very interesting. 12,000 listed for June of 1895.
And 290 in March, 180 in May, 90 in September and 320 in December (which is 880 and probably all of the proofs)
