Post a coin from the Mint nearest you.

Post a coin from the Mint nearest you. That includes defunct Mints too.

It closed in 1861 and burned down in 1878, but the foundation of the Dahlonega mint is the closest to me.

Well, using Google maps suggested routes, Dahlonega comes up closest, with Charlotte close behind, and just ahead of Philadelphia, Ottawa, and Winnipeg, all of which are close to the same distance from here. I don't have a Dahlonega coin, but RYK does, so I'll post a picture of one of his.

Funny, Philadelphia, Dahlonega and Charlotte are all about 700 miles from me. Philadelphia wins by 30 miles.

Huh. I always assumed Denver was closer to me than Carson City. Turns out CC is a few miles closer. Too bad I don't have a single coin from there.

A few miles, Bryce??? How about more than 300 miles closer!

Where I live, I'm not far from Nevada but I had to choose S over CC.

For me, the difference is 168 miles, with Carson City being closer.

Since I don't have one from that particular mint, I'll "borrow" messydesk's beauty.

Nearest to where I grew up:



Appropriate since many of my ancestors were gold miners in that region until a mining disaster in 1922.

I don't have anything from the mint nearest me, so this borrowed pic will have to do.

The Dahlonega Mint is the closest mint to me. This 1853-D quarter eagle was minted 160 years ago and was auctioned in Stack's George Walton Duplicates sale in June 1963 (50 years ago). Walton is best known today for owning the "missing" 1913 Liberty Head nickel (100 years old this year). The images are courtesy of BluCC Photos.

Philadelphia has been the closest to me since I moved to Maryland 20 years ago...



But my home state of North Carolina & Charlotte remain much closer to the heart...

Great images everyone.

As I sit here in my mountain home I am about 9 miles as the crow flies from the location of the Dahlonega Mint. And the coin below sits in a safe deposit box just a couple of hundred yards from where it was minted in 1839.
