Two original Carson City mint bags!!!

In 20 years of looking for and buying all sorts of Carson City-related items, I've found/bought only 3 bags before today. Imagine my surprise when I found 2 of them on the floor!

Were they full of coins? Now that would really be something!

For a split second I thought you meant they were full! I had to hit my chest to get the ole ticker started again.

Big Al,

Full bags would make me grow hair.

Rumor has it when you go to the NorthWest Bigfoot sightings increase!!!

I've never seen a mint bag. It is possible to post a pic?

MadMonk · January 22, 2004 11:42PM

That's impressive. Can you keep us posted on the quality of the coins if you get into them?

Now that's a find!!!
Where they in the open or did you have to ask around?

Now I'm all mixed up . . . you say you bought two CC mint bags that you found laying on the floor filled with hair? And it was your hair? Sorry, I'm having a bad hair day.

My folks live in Carson City. Pops says that one of the antique stores downtown has 2 Carson City Mint bags for sale and has had them for a while. Don't know what these things usually go for but he is charging $200 each for them! Seems pretty darned high to me.

You were frieindly an helpful despite what JB said about you............HAAaaaaa.

Cam40 · January 23, 2004 9:09AM

They were `miint bags` people. As in `empty mint bags` but hey, Thats cool enough right there.

He can always fill them with CC dollars if he wants.
