FA: 1819 Letter from Sec of Treas. to Senate
on ebay, an eleven page letter from the Secretary of the Treasury in
reply to a Senate resolution requesting the US Mint to report on the circulation of foreign coins within the Union: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=140018361630 It's 187 years old, and looks it. However, the pages aren't brittle, it's quite readable and a great piece of original US numismatic history. Thanks for looking -- mark |

I would have to have two to let go of one. I would at least scan the thing and then extract the information from it for a separate publication. ... but that's me... and another man's treasure is one man's trash. |

Yes, it's interesting, isn't it? Perhaps if the winner is from RCC they will scan and share it. How many people out there can give the current name of "Province Rio de la Plata"? (listed on the 2nd image in the auction.) |

I debated selling it, but it's that time of year. I've got to get school clothes for my kids, heating oil, and my youngest needs his glasses replaced, so I had to do something to raise some extra cash. -- mark |

Retire to Italy wrote: ok am I crazy or ahy would anyone want to collect a stupid letter??? check me in to a lunny bin but I think I am right here... give me a BIG coin anyday'' It's not stupid, it's an informative piece of history. The US Mint wasn't even yet 20 years old, and here they are having to answer to the Senate about their competition, which was still in circulation throughout the Union. This is a great companion to an 1819 large cent, quarter, or half dollar--which were the only small denominations the Mint produced that year. You know, that sounded good. I think I'll add that to the auction text. -- mark |
