<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ernie11, post: 2148951, member: 1845&quot;]Apologies for being a little off-topic, but I think of coins and history in a different way, since I live in Philadelphia.&nbsp; When I walk past the site of one of the U. S. Mints, I often think of one of the coins in my collection having been minted right on that spot.&nbsp; The 2nd Mint site near 13th and Juniper Streets is where my 1885 quarter eagle was made, the 3rd Mint at 17th and Spring Garden Street is where my 1942/41 Mercury Dime was minted.&nbsp; I look at the plaque on the wall for the first Mint near 7th and Arch Street to see where my 1807 Comet variety large cent was done.&nbsp; And, finally, the current Mint where my 1997 Matte Jeff Nickel was produced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
