Hello all - -
CNLF has today uploaded to the FILES section of CNLF-The First
American Mint eSIG the pages which comprise Chapter 9 "The United
States Mints" from Early Engineering Reminiscences (1815-40) of
George Escol Sellers. This material originally appeared in a
series of articles in the American Machinist magazine.
This is the only in-depth first-hand experiences that we know of
regarding operations at the First U.S. Mint. Sellers was 75
years of age when he wrote his first article in this series - 50
years after the events occurred.
The material was edited by Eugene S. Ferguson and completed on 28
September 1964 and published in 1965 as Bulletin 238 by the
United States National Museum section of the Smithsonian
Institution. The book is a remarkable history of early American
Technology that has been little known to history buffs and almost
completely unknown to numismatists. The book is MUST reading
for anyone with even the slightest interest in the technology of
the era of the First U.S. Mint.
Those of you who may be interested in this era of American
Technology and The First Unites States Mint are invited to join
with us at our new eSIG at
