[QUOTE="Bonedigger, post: 291710, member: 4367"]Last evening I was looking at a coin related book which apparently I'd never opened before after getting it for Christmas last year, Coins, Questions and Answers, An Official Whitman Guidebook... :( This one really opened my eyes with all sorts of neat little known coin related tidbits. [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coins-Questions-Answers-Clifford-Mishler/dp/030709359X/ref=sr_1_1/202-7908747-9482259?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194106570&sr=1-1[/url] We all know the US Mint burned down in 1816 but did you know the new building was a brick structure and that's when a new hydrolic press was introduced which replaced the older screw-type operation which used two oxen to operate and was guarded by a dog which cost three dollars (LOL) and was named Nero...
