<p>[QUOTE="sgt23, post: 2137097, member: 73878"]I live in Cleveland, GA which is near where two mints were located. The most famous being the Dahlonega Mint, which Dahlonega has a museum with a complete collection of Dahlonega minted coins on display and many other neat artifacts. The other mint was located in Gainesville, GA (where I grew up). The name of this mint was The Reid Mint, which was a private mint and only lasted two years. I know most of you long time collectors already know about it since there are coins for this mint listed in the Redbook. All of the coins that came from this mint are pretty much rare or unique. I believe there is a small museum in Gainesville with one of the coins on display. I'm betting it was loaned to the museum by some wealthy local collector (Not me, I'm a long ways from rich lol). </p><p><a href="http://www.hmdb.org/Marker.asp?Marker=14882" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.hmdb.org/Marker.asp?Marker=14882" rel="nofollow">http://www.hmdb.org/Marker.asp?Marker=14882</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
