If you are in the area (Athens GA) you should check it out. Although I have not seen the exhibit, I have been told by others that were consulted that it is very well done. And there is a substantial focus on the Dahlonega Mint. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a complete 60 pc set of Dahlonega coins that was recently donated to the University.

That is pretty cool and thank you for the information. I doubt I will have the opportunity to visit it, but for those who might be in the area or passing through this would be a terrific way to learn more about this fascinating niche of US history and numismatics.

I would like to see it,but I probably won't be able to get to Athens.
That would be a great exhibit to view.... I will be in Myrtle Beach, SC in October, may try to extend the visit to see that.... Cheers, RickO
