The 1851-O 3 cent, which is supposed to be something special is there. I think it would be interesting to see the equipment. Is it worth the trip? __________________ Bill Henderson   12-21-2002, 11:33 PM   #2 (permalink) Marotta Senior Member   Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 120 It takes a working man to sing a working song. Don't know. Apparently, no one else from Cointalk.Org has been there either. I have seen the Gallery Mint Museum set-ups at a couple of ANA conventions and the old machinery is always alluring, to be sure. __________________ Tradurre e tradire.   12-23-2002, 12:44 PM   #3 (permalink) Peter T Davis Man behind the curtain!     Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: New England Posts: 3,141 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 I've never even been to New Orleans. It's nice to know about the museum, though. If I ever do get there, I'll be sure to stop and have a look. __________________ Your Friendly Host Take a moment to answer an unanswered question!   01-20-2003, 07:22 PM   #4 (permalink) WACoinGuy Junior Member   Join Date: Jan 2003 Posts: 11 I was just in New Orleans and visited the mint. It now houses a jazz museum and has a small (overpriced) store that sells some coins. I didn't see anything mint-related on display, though.   01-22-2003, 11:56 AM   #5 (permalink) Jess Senior Member   Join Date: Oct 2002 Posts: 264 My Mood: If everything costs a mint is that why they call it a mint? If I sell old coins can I be a museum? Questions to ponder. :lol: __________________ Do you believe?   01-22-2003, 06:11 PM   #6 (permalink) Bill Henderson Senior Member     Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 151 Really, they don't have anything on display? __________________ Bill Henderson   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
