I also just went to the Carson City mint (pics of the minting display)

Thought some people who can't make it out there might enjoy.

Sorry about out of order pics, submitted this on my phone and was running out of screen space.

An excellent trip! I was across the street just yesterday.

Thanks, went there years ago. They had some silver rounds that as I recall were 'minted' on the cc press. I got the smallest one. Still sitting on a miniature easel.

Thanks. Always enjoy seeing pictures from there in Carson City.

The last time I was there just prior to COVID I had a "coin" minted for me and I believe it was the last one before they had to put Coin Press #1 under maintenance. I noticed the sigh in your photos reporting that it was currently under maintenance. I wonder if it has remained out of commission all this time?

Did anyone indicate when they expected Coin Press #1 to be back up and running?

A very cool place to visit. I have been there twice.

These medals were struck by CC Coin Press 1 in 2022. It would be amazing to see the press in action.

I went out of obligation. But I had already scouted out their online inventory and my shopping list is very specific & somewhat tough right now so it was a short visit.

I like the looks of that big scale

Beginning in the 1950s I traveled every year with my family from Southern California to our summer place in Plumas County - up highway 395 via Carson City. Of course I stopped at the Mint building every time. The display was rudimentary - just a half dozen coins which included an 1875 CC 20c piece, but no educational exhibits. I pointed out to my Dad that they did not have an 1876 CC because there were very valuable with only about a dozen known.

Wow, what a fun trip. Wish I could make that one. Thanks for sharing.

The last "coin" minted before Coin Press #1 went down needing maintenance. (Unknown how long it continued to remain "under maintenance or even if it has remained out of commission to date.)
