Yes. Last spring I was up on the hillside looking for old bottles. The picture is all I got.

Hate to jump the gun but you left out 1853...here's gold dollar BG523, made in San Francisco by Deriberpe. He and Nouizillet constituted a mint, sort of.   "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire

I think 1853 was left out because the thread is for coins struck by the US mint in San Francisco and Carson City.

Cool one but... Can't we just start these at 1878 Moe lol Sorry, Cascade. I got an 1888-S Morgan though. In the meantime, enjoy the Seateds.  Edited by Omegaraptor

@numista a fine point on the difference between government and private mints...but the private San Francisco mints filled a need for coins for 5 years. I wish I could afford a Moffat or Kellogg coin, which were more legitimate than the jeweler's fractionals.

Looks like I can't post until October 3rd and then very rarely until October 21, at which point I can post nearly every day until the end :P
