  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."
