    CALIFORNIA COINS AND ASSAYERS PUBLISHED

    The long-awaited book by Dan Owens on "California
    Coiners and Assayers", also published by Bowers and
    Merena ("A Collector's Universe Company") in
    conjunction with Stack's, began shipping last week.
    The importance of the 448-page book is noted in the
    Introduction by Q. David Bowers:

    "Every so often in numismatics a work is published
    that breaks new ground. After much unceasing,
    unstinting effort involving travel, correspondence,
    and other communications, and delving into
    long-forgotten directories and archives, Dan Owens
    has created a master work which will be used in the
    future as a source and standard reference. Now,
    for the first time in numismatic and western history,
    in one encyclopedic dictionary is told the story of
    coiners, assayers, and others who created gold in the
    form of coins and ingots, for use in commerce during
    one of the most pivotal eras of American history."
