    I did it! I finally did it! I am an agent of change for numismatic accuracy!

    After over a decade of seeing the old "New Orleans Mint" coin as the moniker for the "Silver Dollars and Wooden Nickels" weekly Op Ed piece in the local Carson City newspaper (Nevada Appeal aka Carson Appeal circa 1800's) I finally got them to put up a CC mint mark dollar!

    BEHOLD! The new CC Mint Mark Silver Dollar as the logo for the weekly article! On a BRILLIANT uncirculated CC Morgan Dollar! IN THE LOCAL CARSON CITY NEWSPAPER!

    I'm elated! It took several letters, I even contacted the local Carson City coin club and requested assistance. I also posted on here asking for a write-in campaign last month!

    This is the "old" one. Notice the New Orleans "O" Mint Mark!!!
