Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 03/17/2016 6:05 pm Thanks for sharing - sounds like a great trip. The last time I was at the Denver mint was around 40 years ago! Is that a 1998-S Matte proof JFK? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

It would have to be something I would have to arragnge for some official reason... but start at West Point, Tour Philly, Visit the Depository, Hit up Denver... and finish it off in San Fran... wouldn't that be fun!?! Nice idea but West Point and San Francisco aren't open to the public. You can look at the San Francisco mint from the outside but I don't think you can even get close to the West Point mint.

You will never get close enough to that place... Back in the early 70's my dad did his basic training there he only went by there one time and he told me you never went over there unless you had a reason to be over there...

cjweber Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 10:06 am I may have a chance to do a fellowship with the department of the mint through my current job... that would be my goal to visit all five locations within the scope of my job... Its a dream... we can all have dreams... If you want something bad enough It could happen... and of course I would tell you guys (and gals) all about it... If I was allowed to...

cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2272 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 7:35 pm I toured the Denver mint in 1980 and was very impressed by it. The whole thing was smooth and a lot of fun. I must have spent almost an hour just in the gift shop picking out nice souvenir sets. It was so much fun I tried the Philly mint too a couple years later. Philly wasn't as much fun and was a little dark but still well worth the visit. One thing I liked even more at Philly was that they had a collection of some moderns of exquisite quality. I doubt they're still there. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
