Perhaps you should contact them and volunteer (or get paid - bonus!) to be a tour guide, or suggest that they update their exhibits. Just get in contact with someone within the mint. That way when you show up for a proper tour they're at least expecting you and their work won't get disrupted. Ask and you shall receive. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't get it. Why would they be producing the 50 states quarters now? You posted on 9/13/11 and said you went yesterday. I'm confused. Report this Post to the Staff

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 09/21/2011 8:22 pm What I do like about the 50 State Quarters is that grading each coin will require their own experts in the future. 50+ coin types in 11 years - that's a lot to digest. Was just looking at my NY 2001 pocket piece to watch how it wears down, and already the face on the statue of liberty is getting polished in my pants as is the edge. It's at Fine. Some day when I get an awesome camera I will make the before and after (and in between) pictures of a pocket piece straight from a roll. There's bound to be at least one or two keydates in that series (in MS of course), but not for a few more decades - we have to get all of those 1976 quarters out of the way.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/23/2011 4:44 pm As to taking photo of the process, I thought someone said there was a movie about how they are made. Or was it on utube? Not sure but I thought there was some kind of movie about the process. If so, then why not let people take photos. Quote: I always thought it was illegal to take pictures in graveyards. I looked it up just now and apparently it is fine. Maybe whoever told me that just thought it wasn't proper and thus made it into a law in their head. I hate it when people do that. Not meaning to change the subject but when I was a kid we used to go to graveyards. One of my friends would lay down on a grave and I'd take multiple photo shots of him with underexposures as he slowly got up. The end result was a ghostly image emerging from the grave.
