CARSON CITY COIN FOUND

  Last week we published an item about how E-Sylum
  subscriber Rusty Goe spent a valuable Carson City mint
  coin to promote a local coin show.   The coin has been
  found

  "A Carson City man with a tendency to check his pocket
  change has come up with a big find.

  Richard Labahn got a curious looking coin in his change
  last Saturday at a Carson City Albertsons store.

  It turned out to be an 1877-CC Liberty Seated quarter
  minted in Carson City and spent there, intentionally, by a
  Reno coin collector.

  Rusty Goe spent the quarter at the Albertsons, then
  announced it, to generate interest in the August 28th-29th
  Carson City Mint coin show.

  Goe offered 300 dollars for the person who redeemed the
  coin. It's worth about 200 to 250 dollars.

  Labahn, a 75-year-old retired Carson City salesman received
  the historic coin just after Goe spent it."
