<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mralexanderb, post: 437572, member: 7851&quot;]Last month I was in the Nevada State Museum where the Carson City Mint is located. It was a Sunday and very few visitors. I went into the mint and found a stairway that goes way underground where under very low light, I walked through the various parts and rooms in the silver mine of the Comstock lode. It was amazing and a little creepy as there was no one else down there and the mine tunnels are quite narrow. There, in one display, was a pile of used dies, corroded into one basketball sized wad of metal. This tour finally lead back to ground level and you can reenter the Mint ad see the coin presses and plenty of coins that were minted in the Carson City Branch Mint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;If you like Silver and Gold you&#039;d like this Mint. I highly recommend it. I remember a recent thread by another CTer and that encouraged me to make the Carson City Branch Mint a destination whenever I&#039;m in the area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
