You misread the report. The section of the report you quote does not identify the owner(s) of the specie shipped. You can see in the tables that specie was reshipped via American ports, meaning that the origin of the specie could be Mexico, Chile, or the Philippines.

Point is that you continue to make claims that are unsupported by the data.

And which always err in the same direction.

Sorry, but you've misread the report.

The section of the report I quote says nothing about reshipments, period.
It certainly does show imports of specie at $8.5 million and those might be considered as if reshipments from Mexico, etc., to be netted against the $58 million in gross specie exports.

Regardless, your own Treasurer's Report shows US gold reserves in 1861 approaching $1 billion.
So $50 million is specie exports was just a drop in the bucket.

Exactly.
