Anyone been to the Carson City Mint?

Being an afficienado of the old West, I'd like to visit the mint in the spring on my way back to Oregon. I wonder if it's worth the trip.
I don't have any rare cc's, but I did pick up a couple of common NGC-55 $20's, a '91-CC ANACS 62 $10, and a NGC-20 '80-CC $5.

thanks,
barn

I thought it was worth the trip from Tahoe, but I was disappointed with the quality of the coins on display. Most are heavily cleaned. The building now houses the Nevada State Museum, so it holds less displays relating to the mint than I expected. As long as you're not expecting much, you'll probably enjoy it.

Hey Barney.... I've been there plenty of times. Taken the tour years ago. There is a small coin show at the Mint that I go to once a year, I think it's in September.
