Has Anyone Ever Gone To The Mint?

Now there is a great idea! My dad would love that. Because of our last name it is the only beer he will drink. He actually collects Coors bottles, can , promo stuff, anything Coors really.

In the past, you could sign up to take a floor tour of the Denver mint when you take an ANA summer seminar class. I've taked this tour it is very interesting. It's much better than the general public tour. The list of new classes and tours should be coming out soon.

Question for SeriousCERES,

Since you recently visited the P Mint, I was wondering if you remember exactly what they have at the gift shop, I was going to purchase the silver quarter proof set and the LP3 & LP4 cents rolls, and a 2009 Mint Set.

Do you remember if they had any of the above items.

I was planning on visiting that place at the end of January, and will hold off on ordering online if these are available online.

Tesla's lab was at the intersection of Foote St. and Kiowa St.
(in downtown Colorado Springs)

There is a historical marker one block south, in Memorial Park.

You can (and should!) also visit the American Numismatic Association's Money Museum,
which is nearby.

I might add that one pair of my great-grandparents were living on a
farm just east of Colorado Springs when Tesla's lab was in operation.
They did see the building (exterior) in person, according to my
grandmother (their 7th child, of 8 children!). Grandma moved to
Denver in 1937, at the age of 21.

To RobertBidniuk:

Thanks for your question!

They definitely had the silver proof set and the clad proof set, as well as the mint set for 2009 on sale in the gift shop. If you're interested, you should also ask the person at the counter if they have rolls of territorial quarters still, they keep those in the back. (Those are rolls of coins that had been made available to the public in the machine I mentioned in my earlier post.)

As for the LP rolls, I hate to bear bad tidings but you'll not find any help at the Mint. They have no circulation cents whatsoever to offer there, so you'll want to order those from other sources (either the online Mint shop if they still have them or from dealers).

Best of luck,

SCS
