A Collection Of What We Love In Numismatic History

View of San Francisco fires burning after the earthquake of 1906 outside the San Francisco Mint. The Mint was the only building that housed a financial institution still standing after the two calamities that year.

That is a good looking medal.

I have in my collection a Registered Mail Book from Carson City, Nevada that dates to 1912 - 1913. One of the signers is the first woman to head a Federal Reserve Facility, Annie Hudnell Martin who was appointed by President Warren G. Harding to head the federal reserve office (Federal assayer's office and formerly the US Mint) in Carson City, Nevada.
