Brkdnc Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 04/22/2013 5:41 pm Ran across this on E-bay. This Looks really cool if your looking for old mintage info from the late 1700's to 1830's on US coins. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Best-1839-n...em564993b003 Thought I would share in case somebody was looking for something unique. PS it is not my auction Report this Post to the Staff

ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 04/23/2013 04:52 am Very interesting. Doesn't look like a newspaper though-- looks like a section of pages removed from a book-- binding marks, page size... Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 04/23/2013 07:23 am More info, looks like some volumes are free to read online: http://archive.org/details/hazardsunitedsta05slsn I'm browsing it right now just for grins. Came across this fascinating entry from Aug 1841: Which seems to be referencing the Unity States coin, although the 1783 copper Washington coin shown on PCGS CoinFacts reads "Unity States" rather than "United States". Or does another version really exist? Interesting! Link for a picture of a 1783 copper Washington "Unity States": http://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/26737567_450.jpg Edited by ThisIsFun 04/23/2013 07:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 04/23/2013 07:40 am And if you're interested in reading the contents of the pages in the ebay listing, it starts on p. 193 of this Google Books link: http://books.google.com/books?id=rm...1839&f=false The pages listing coin mintage data from 1793 through 1838 start on p. 196, with a good chart!

BamaBlue Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 04/23/2013 07:59 am Interesting that the modesty of George Washington provoked him to remove coins with his likeness from circulation. If he knew how many images his face was on for everything from currency to TV commercials, his wooden teeth would fall out. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/23/2013 09:55 am Washington never saw that coin, it was produced around 1820 in England as were several other "1783" dated Washington pieces. So at the time that 1841 article was written the token was only about 20 years old. Edited by Conder101 04/23/2013 09:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 04/23/2013 10:08 am LOL! 1841: Don't believe everything you read in the United States Commercial & Statistical Register. :: 2013: Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Well, at least we can accurately trace our propensity for inaccurate reporting Report this Post to the Staff
BamaBlue Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 04/23/2013 12:36 pm Good point... 2013 is a banner year for news. Last week, I heard that it's no longer important to report the news correctly, it's more important to be the first with the news. Report this Post to the Staff
