<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tbarreca, post: 725289, member: 21275&quot;]As Scottishmoney says, the Carson City mint is a very cool place to visit.&nbsp; Surprisingly small, it neo-classical architecture stands out against the backscape of the High Sierra, and you really feel like you&#039;re stepping into a bit of American history the moment you step inside.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as reviving the CC mintmark goes, I&#039;m willing to bet that there is a legal requirement to have mintmarks accurately reflect the geographical area in which the coin is made.&nbsp; The old CC mint is way too small to house a more modern facility, and considering that it was built in part to accommodate the large amounts of silver and gold that were still being mined at the time but not any more, it&#039;s unlikely that the Treasury would construct another mint in the vicinity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
