| Up to 1878 this table is derived from Soetbeer, Edelmetall-Produktion , pp. 130-2. From 1878-1890 I have calculated simply in accordance with Soetbeer's method. The figures for 1891-3 are taken from the United States Mint Report, 1893, already referred to, p. 251. In the table there printed the director of the Mint gives slightly different figures for several years from 1872 onwards. |
