Really enjoyed learning about how US coins are made at the Mint. I have a whole new appreciation for why people collect coins. Are you a coin collector? What is the hardest coin to find in the US?
The 1849 double eagle ?
One of the most interesting videos I have ever seen on RUclips.
Wow. Thanks so much. That means a lot. I love that museum and am always learning somehting new when I go :)
Very interesting. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
My pleasure! Thanks for always watching and commenting. Happy thanksgiving.
Just discovered your channel. The first video I watched was on Castle Cliffs which led me to want to further explore your channel and I'm glad I did. Nice job on both this video on the the CC Mint and on Castle Cliffs. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Best, Steve
We were there at the beginning of August, the last stop of our two week trip from Wisconsin to California. It was a highlight, since I enjoy coin collecting and as any collector knows the CC minted coins are highly sought after. Dean
Thank you for sharing your story. What an amazing roadtrip. I am a coin novice. Visiting sparked my interest in the hobby!
When I was working I often was hundreds of miles from home for 6 months. And I always went to the local museums. They always focused on local past history that you only get in a small town museum. Fallen Nv was rich with history on the wagon trains and settlers of that area. You might like the mills on Hwy 20 & 49 where they crushed ore, that was not so much a small museum, but great history on the gold rush. So much history to be seen if a person takes the time to stop and look. I'll be checking out your videos to see if you posted more.
Thank you for the info and I agree. So ma y amazing places to see and learn about. I will look up the mills and find out when I can visit them.
Coin Press Number 1 is the most famous coin press in US History. It wasn't just used in Carson City (CC mintmark on the coins), but it also spent time in Philadelphia, San Francisco (S), and later in Denver (D). Along the way it was converted from steam power to electric.
After reading the comments I just wanted to add my thanks for your video. I haven't been to Carson City to tour the museum/former mint, but it has been on my list of things to do for some time. The roughness on the edge of coins is called "reeding" by the way. For several years it was the only coin press at Carson City mint, but a couple of more were added later on. Because of scarcity, CC Morgan Dollars carry a significant premium to Morgan Dollars minted at the other mints.
Thank you so much for sharing the additional information. I really appreciate it and love learning from you all!!
I hope you can make it someday. It is a great museum! And thanks again for the additional info!
Great tour good job! Thanks for sharing! 👏
Thank you so much. It was such a great place to visit. I learned so much and hope you did as well!
Working at a mint Always seemed like a dream job to me but I'm sure there will be a group of dudes there who worked there for decades and they're mean and bossy, even if your right and everyone says "yes" to them😒😁
Very cool mate
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed.
Cool video
Thank you. I found the place fascinating
I’ve been there several times but I didn’t see the display of how coins are made.
It is towards the front of the mint. It was the first time I saw it also. Glad I could share something new for you. Thanks for the comment and for watching :)
carson city silver dollars are highly collectible....like they go for hubndreds if not thousands each
Wow. I had no idea they were that much.. Thanks for the comment and for watching :)
Thank you for the tour. Very interesting video. Do you know where the coins were shipped to? Were they all used locally or were some shipped out of state?
Great question. As I understand it, they stayed mainly in the Western US. They were used in Virginia City and San Francisco. Thank you for watching and for the question.
What coins do they make on the press when it is running? I'd love to be able to have one no matter what it is.
Good question. I think it is a dollar piece. Check the museum website, they would have more info on when they have the press working. Thanks for the comment.
🍀 Promo sm!
Thank you for this video I learned a lot. I was also wondering how did they make the coins pree 1838. Once again great video.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback and love learning with you all!
