According to the Trust,the property is being described as "neglected". Are tours still taking place there? Report this Post to the Staff

DKA-Numis Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 06/24/2015 6:43 pm While I was on a trip to San Fran about five years ago I remember seeing some sort of effort to renovate the building. Perhaps those efforts fell through? Report this Post to the Staff

The building is owned by the City and a group (San Francisco Mint Museum and Historical Society) was given the chance to renovate and raise funds for the restoration. They had several events there (including a few coin shows) but were unable to raise the funds on the required timeline and the City took it back from them in March of this year.

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 11:43 pm For the last several years there was an annual coin show in the Mint, in February, which also conducted a tour of the building. I see on the show promoters' web site there is not one scheduled for next year. Report this Post to the Staff
