<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2468949, member: 36864&quot;]My great grandfather worked at the New Orleans mint in the late 1890s, we think he did assay work, but we&#039;re not really sure. Later I worked at a sort of tourist trap coin shop inside of the mint. Pretty cool job, but it didn&#039;t last too long. It&#039;s a pretty nice museum and is right next to the Franck market. I believe they have a coin exhibit going on at the moment, so you timing could be just right. You may also want to visit Cohn and sons as well. It is only a few blocks away and they&#039;ve been there since 1890. Prices are stupid because they sort of market to tourists, but they negotiate with you and are pretty reasonable. My avatar proof half cent came from them. Send me a PM when you get in, I love meeting CT members.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
