SAN FRANCISCO MINT LETTERWRITERS NEEDED

  An editorial by Beth Deisher in the October 28, 2002
  issue of Coin World is a plea for collectors to write
  letters in support of efforts to save "The Granite Lady,"
  the old San Francisco Mint building.  Built in 1874, the
  mint was a center of the Gold Rush economy and was
  one of the few major buildings to survive the disastrous
  1906 earthquake.

  "If coin collectors are serious about the Granite Lady
  rising from its current state of emptiness to a full-fledged
  Gold Rush/numismatic museum, we have to stand up
  and be counted now."

  "Letters supporting a Gold Rush/numismatic focus for
  the Old San Francisco Mint will literally be worth Atheir
  weight in gold. Address them to Old Mint Task Force,
  c/o Ms. Hala Hijazi, Project Manager of the Mayor's
  Office of Economic Development, 1 Dr. Carlton B.
  Goodlett Place, Room 448, San Francisco, CA 94102,
  or e-mail hala.hijazi at sfgov.org."

  Do it now!  For more information, see the full text of
