New Varieties Of Gold And Silver Coins, Counterfeit Coins, And Bullion: With Mint Values

New Varieties Of Gold And Silver Coins, Counterfeit Coins, And Bullion: With Mint Values

A small volume was published by the Assayers of the Mint of the United States, in the early part of the year 1850, entitled ,,New Varieties of coins and Bullion”. It was designed as a convenient and authentic manual for individuals or institutions dealing in the precious metals, and especially those engaged in the California trade, then newly opened. It also served the purpose of a supplement to a larger work by the same authors on the same subject, issued in 1842. As a separate publication, the edition was exhausted in a few month.
