CC-Loosechange New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 06/17/2015 08:43 am Cascade, Those pictures are awesome ! I usually make my annualpilgrimage to Carson City every August to meet with the Carson City Coin Collectors of America and visit my coin mecca the Carson City Mint. I love the historical documents in the pictures you posted and I have some of my very own in my Carson Mint Collection. Someday when I learn how to post pictures I will share some of the Mint's documents photos with members of this forum. Unfortunately this year I will not be able to make it out west but the paln is for next year in August for sure. Thanks again for sharing your trip with us CC-Loosechange Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 06/17/2015 10:29 am Numisma & all... here is my collection of 5 different coins minted on the press. I like the BBQ one because it was signed by the governor & only 100 were produced. But my favorite is my Freemont because I watched it being struck and surreptitiously licked my thumb and stuck a hair to it then touched the planchet and spit stuck the hair on it to see what would happen and it came out as a raised Strikethrough going through the date! So my dna is embedded in it! How freakin cool is that... Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 06/17/2015 8:59 pm And a few other cool things at the museum!... see that dry gold sluice, I have one I picked for $200 that was appraised at $2500-3000. It's in my living room because I like it too much to sell ... (it's called a dry gold sluice because it uses air via a bellows instead of water to separate the materials) Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189603 Posts	Posted 06/18/2015 08:44 am Looks like there is a lot more history there than I thought. Might be worth the trip one day. Until then, I will just enjoy your photos. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
