[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2310648, member: 71510"]We came up to Reno for the New Year's celebration and took a quick day trip out to Virginia City. Yes, it's a tourist trap - but it's got a lot of neat history. Sitting right next to the "Suicide Table" which seems to get all of the fame of the Delta Saloon, there's a giant wall plaque dedicated to the Silver Kings of the Comstock. John Mackay, William O'Brien, James Fair and James Flood. We all know my pictures are horrific - but I did what I could. :) The entire plaque stands about 10 feet tall, and is surrounded by Morgans and Peace Dollars. The Peace Dollars are all up top (my luck, couldn't see any up close!) For those interested in a bit more reading - here you go.
