“A Small Beginning”
The U.S. Mint grew from a modest start
By
Robert R. Van Ryzin
It was a “small beginning” but a signifi cant one. In July 1792, a site for the
new U.S. Mint not yet having been secured, 1,500 silver half dismes were struck
on a small screw press nestled in the cellar of a Philadelphia building owned by
sawmaker John Harper. Though some have since categorized these early emis-
sions of the fl edgling U.S. Mint as patterns, it is clear that fi rst President George
Washington – who is said to have deposited the silver from which the coins were
struck – considered this small batch of half dismes the fi rst offi cial U.S. coins.
It is true that this limited coinage, the fi rst since passage of the act establish-
ing the Mint on April 2, 1792, pales by comparison to modern U.S. Mint presses.
Today’s machines can churn out up to 750 coins a minute, striking as many as
four coins at a time and boasting yearly mintages in the billions. But it is also true
that these fi rst small pieces – struck from silver and stamped with a plump Liberty
on the obverse and a scrawny eagle in fl ight on the reverse – have tremendous
historical importance.
For within what Washington would declare in his 1792 address to Congress
as a “small beginning” were the seeds of a monetary system that has lasted more
than 200 years and has become the study and admiration of many.
Before the U.S. Mint
Collectors today can trace much of the nation’s development and learn of its
struggles and growth through its coinage: from a cumbersome system fi rst proposed
by Robert Morris, a Revolutionary War fi nancier and fi rst superintendent of fi nance,
to the refi nements tendered by Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, which
fi rmly placed the nation on an easily understood decimal system of coinage.
