Elimist Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 05/01/2008 11:38 pm (Note: New here, and I know many forums have certain rules and faux pas. I don't know if this topic belongs here or if its even 'new topic worthy', please forgive me) I was wondering if anybody had any pictures of these really obscure mints I've heard about. I knew that there where of course the P, D, and S, and I knew that there was an New Orleans and Carson City mint a long time ago. But apparently there also used to be a Charlotte North Carolina Mint, a Georgia Mint, and a Manilla Mint. I've never seen any coins with those mint marks before. Does anybody have any of these mintage coins? Report this Post to the Staff

Charlotte and Dahlonega only minted gold coins and the Civil War effectively closed them. Manila only minted Filipino coinage and San Francisco minted coin for the Philippines as well.

Seems odd how we are in debt yet we do so much for others Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 05/02/2008 01:16 am Hello Elimist, welcome aboard! Here are photos of an 1852-C and an 1857-D half eagle. The Charlotte and Dahlonega coins are extremely interesting but unfortunately pretty pricey. You can find plenty of photos on-line for free, however! Try the Heritage website for images of current and archived auction lots. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/05/2008 02:53 am Here's one a lot of people have not heard of, The Dalles Mint in Oregon. Authorized by the US government and funds for construction appropriated, the building ran over time and over budget. And during construction, the mine output declined, so the mint never opened for production. So it is an actual US mint that never struck a single coin. Report this Post to the Staff
