  QUERY: SAN FRANCISCO ASSAY OFFICE DEPOSIT INFORMATION SOUGHT
  

  Dave Ginsburg writes: "In reviewing the Mint Annual Reports
  from the 1820s to 1861, I've noticed that while they contain
  deposit and mintage information for the five US mints and the
  New York Assay Office, there isn't any information regarding
  the activities of the Assay Office in San Francisco, which
  operated from 1851 to 1853. However, Don Kagin, in his Private
  Gold Coins and Patterns of the United States, states that the
  Assay Office made monthly reports to the Secretary of the
  Treasury and his book contains an illustration of a page of
  a report from the National Archives.
  

  "Does anyone know if any deposit or mintage information from
  the Assay Office in San Francisco has been published?"
