The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 54, December 31, 2000, Article 9

"As to Dave Bowers' interesting comment in the December 24 Bulletin that Jacob Perkins was "highly esteemed" in Newburyport and might have made or used a Boulton & Watt type steam coining press I surmise that Perkins was not that "highly esteamed" and neither was the U.S.Mint."
