LAST WORD ON "THE GREAT DEBATE"?
A four-column comment article by Q. David Bowers
regarding the "Great Debate" over Western Assay Bars
appears in the same issue of the ANS newsletter. While
the article contains much of interest to numismatic
bibliophiles, I'll just quote one paragraph, which follows
up on an earlier mention in The E-Sylum: "Researcher
Dan Owens has completed the manuscript for a new
book, the working title of which is "An Encyclopedia of
California Coiners and Assayers Related to Numismatics,
1849-1863." Upon publication, Mr. Buttrey will find
hundreds of pages of documentation about firms that
issued gold bars, nearly all of this material having come
from readily available sources."The ANS newsletter's editor notes, after stating the usual
disclaimer that all such articles and publications do not
represent the opinion of the ANS, its officers, and staff,
that "this communication will conclude discussion on this
topic in any of the publications of the American Numismatic
Society."- 2000-01-09
