Was there ever a US Mint in New York ?

COALPORTER

and why does eBay have this as a choice for mint locations when listing
united states coins ...(and then some sellers actually use it , on say a Buffelo Nickel?

There was a US Assay Office in NY from 1854 - 1982.

Machin's Mills made coins in the colonial time, it's in Orange County.

STONE

In 1787 there was a proposal by the New York government to have privately minted New York Copper coins produced.
At least 4 or 5 different individuals submitted various die combination patterns, and possibly struck extremely limited
quantities of these pattern coppers in metals other than copper (i.e. silver and/or gold).

Fortunately or Unfortunately, New York (back in 1787) decided to not mint its own copper coinage. Right after that fell
through several of the individuals who submitted their petition patterns joined forces and worked at Machin's Mills just
a little ways up the river from NYC!


...or for a more modern-day mint there is West Point

Wasn't the Brasher doubloon also minted in NYC?

Yes, Brasher was a silver/goldsmith who worked with another guy named Bailey.

MsMorrisine

the list is comprised of cities, so I'd be expecting NY to refer to NYC.

otherwise we'd need Louisiana, NC, CO, NV, etc on the list.

There was a bill in Congress to open a mint in New York City, but it was never passed. I have a little book about it that I believe the ANS published about it somewhere in my library. I think it was in the mid 19th century, but it's been a while since I thought about it.

I live within walking distance of North American Mint in a Western N.Y. city. And it is owned privately by U.S. citizens.

In order to answer this question, one almost needs to analyze the semantics of the OP. As MsMoririsene states, does the OP mean New York State, or New York City. Lacking any further clarification, we must assume New York City. And the OP specifically asks about a 'US Mint', or a mint operated under the authority of the United States government, not private mints. Many of the mints listed by others were private mints. The West Point Depository did mint a few collector coins in recent years, but it certainly was not in New York City. With these assumptions, we can only conclude that no, there were no United States Mints in New York City.
