Synopsis
In what is truly an "Enthusiast's Guide" Rusty Goe shares his own love for and fascination with the Carson City Mint and the III coin issues minted there between 1870 and 1893. This famous and historic western mint and its coins have been written about many times before, but this book is not merely a study of Carson City Mint coins or a list of dates, facts, and figures relating the history of the mint. Instead, this book attempts to bring the reader back in time to the days of the Comstock Lode in northwestern Nevada. The first four chapters offer a detailed and yet highly readable history of the mint, including not only the "local" happenings around Carson City, but also the events that took place in San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and other locations, both domestic and international, which played such an important role in the development, life, and eventual demise of the mint on Carson Street. You will also become acquainted with the people who were vital to the mint, including its founder, Abe Curry, as well as mint personnel, politicians, bankers, and other citizens.
This book pays tribute to the popular Nevada branch mint and the many wonderful coins produced there. True-life stories are told of the Comstock miners near the Carson City Mint who procured the gold and silver used to make the coins. Brief biographical profiles are presented of the men and women connected with the Carson City Mint. This book recently received the Double Crown of numismatic literature and was awarded Book of the Year honors by the Numismatic Literary Guild and the Professional Numismatics Guild.
