United States Government. REPORT FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY, TRANSMITTING ... STATEMENTS SHOWING THE IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF GOLD AND SILVER COIN, AND BULLION, AND THE ANNUAL COINAGE AT THE MINTS, TO THE YEAR 1839. (Washington), Mar. 18, 1840. 8vo, removed from previous binding. 60 pages. Very good or better. Not a Mint Report, but an interesting document nonetheless. It concerns the growing disparity between the amount of gold and silver (coined or bullion) imported and exported, as precious metals were being exported from the country in record quantities. The situation had a number of different effects on the production of U.S. coins.
