Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 06/15/2015 8:13 pm Ok so the gold coins unfortunately just did't cone out well So here's the last coin collection they had. Don't know what they are but knew you guys would wanna see em. Is this set in its entirety valuable? They did have it very well displayed. Report this Post to the Staff
jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5211 Posts	Posted 06/15/2015 8:23 pm Interesting that a lot of the coins are circulated, cleaned, and even one Trade dollar holed Did the mint branches not keep a few specimens or test strikes or what have you (even if not authorized by the government)? I would have thought that mint employees would have swapped out their pocket change for real First Strikes and if they had any friends who knew they worked at the mint who were collectors make sure that they cherrypicked the best from each strike for them.

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 06/16/2015 1:03 pm Now a closer look at the press plus the mints old GIANT scale!... Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189603 Posts	Posted 06/16/2015 3:00 pm Nice ring! The scale and press are pretty cool, too. 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
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 06/17/2015 03:12 am That scale is huge! Also, is that press electric? I see what look like electrical components, and I suppose that home electricity was available in the CC mint's era, but it never really occurred to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 06/17/2015 08:19 am The scale was Massive! I'm 6'5" & it was about 2ft taller. I had to stand halfway up the staircase to get a wide shot... I think the press was converted to electricity relatively recently. They've been coining modern 999 and copper commemorative rounds with the CC mm for last 20yrs or so Report this Post to the Staff
