    Great idea... I would certainly get the silver dollar, maybe the gold coin as well...I doubt the CC Mint could tool up to run these... maybe though.... That would be special. Time for another CC coin....It would be a sellout within minutes....Cheers, RickO

    I am a buyer of both the gold and silver, I hope they do the design justice.

    I agree with Ricko. A good idea I hope happens. Is it within the realm of possibility the CC equipment remaining could handle the job?

    No the Mint in Carson could not be used to produce these coins. They have but one press and it's been damaged and could not handle the pressure needed for dollars.
    Also, it is State of Nevada owned and not legally able to produce money.

    If the mint can resurrect the obverse, and reverse as they had for the gold issues in 2016- Merc, Standing Liberty, and Liberty Walking,...I'd be disappointed with anything less than a similar gesture to commemorate, and recollect the past at Carson City. I'd spend money for both if it were approved as such...

    If they do it, they will just copy what they did in 2006 for the San Francisco Mint/Earthquake Commem.

    From "Coin Update" dated July 11th
    The Carson City Mint 150th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act of 2018
    news.coinupdate.com/the-carson-city-mint-150th-anniversary-commemorative-coin-act-of-2018/
    Last month, Representative Mark Amodei (R-NV) introduced H.R. 6221 to Congress, a bill authorizing the United States Mint to create commemorative coins in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Carson City Mint. The Carson City Mint 150th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act of 2018 (H.R. 6221) authorizes the creation of a maximum of 500,000 $1 silver coins and 100,000 $5 gold coins. The silver coins will retail for $10 while the gold coins will sell for $35. Proceeds from the sale of the coins will go toward the Nevada State Museum Dedicated Trust Fund. The Nevada State Museum will benefit from these proceeds, having been located at the former Carson City Mint Facility since 1939.

    Those prices must be the surcharge that would go to the Nevada State Museum Dedicated Trust Fund once expenses are met and not the sales prices.

    Yep. Here's the law:

    H.R.6221 - Carson City Mint 150th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act of 2018

    Specifically section 7:

    SEC. 7. Surcharges.
    (a) In General.—All sales of coins minted under this Act shall include a surcharge as follows:
    (1) A surcharge of $35 per coin for the $5 coin.
    (2) A surcharge of $10 per coin for the $1 coin.

    Yes, that way it could be repaired properly and we the state of Nevada got it back they could resume minting large tokens again!!
    I'll send that message to the state and let them see if it's a possibility.

    Sorry to disagree, but this is just another meaningless commemoration of no national interest. It's the kind of gunk that clogs collector budgets, and belittles events and people of truly national merit.

    The only way this will be anything more than a nothingburger money grab is if they use actual canceled morgan & lib cc reverse dies from the Smithsonian paired with a newly designed commemorative obverse. If a reverse die explodes replace it with another. No guts, no glory! :D

    The more you VAM..

    If those figures are the sales prices, I am 'all in'!
