The E-Sylum: Volume 18, Number 18, May 3, 2015, Article 10

NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: MAY 3, 2015

U.S. Mint Screw and Hydraulic Presses
John Dannreuther writes:

A small correction to the discussion about the 1895 Morgan dollars in last week's E-Sylum: The Mint did use the old large screw press (called the medal press or sometimes, the dollar press) to strike Proof coins through 1893. Starting in 1894, all Proof coins were struck on hydraulic presses, although they were produced in the medal room.

Jeff Starck of Coin World adds:

Roger Burdette’s article about 1895 Morgan $1s appeared in the September 2006 issue of Coin Values.

Another Coin Card Postcard Album
Blumel postcard set Regarding coin card postcard albums, John and Nancy Wilson write:

For information and keeping an accurate census, Arlie Slabaugh presented us with his copy of the "American Edition 1126, The Coinage of Different Countries", the President Coolidge copy from the Editor A. J. Blumel and at bottom Vienna - Austria. It is a very nice copy with very little foxing. Inside the back cover it has a stamp "Foreign Department - The Citizens National Bank of Los Angeles." It has a maroon cover like the one pictured in your story.

Thanks! I added the image from the previous article for reference. -Editor

Bill Eckberg's 1794 Cent Cake
Happy Birthday to Bill Eckberg, who celebrated the day at the Early American Coppers convention in Dallas this weekend. His fellow copper collectors surprised him with a cake decorated with the world's sweetest 1794 cent. Neat!
