CARSON CITY MINT BUILDING HOSTS COIN SHOW

An article in the Reno, NV Gazette-Journal August 26th
notes that a coin show will be held in the former Carson
City Mint building:

"The annual Carson City Mint Coin Show has a rare quality.
It's the only show in a former U.S. Mint, which organizers
and dealers say adds a special touch.

“We'll have 40 dealers this year, and we anticipate another
good crowd,” said Deborah Stevenson, curator of education
at the Nevada State Museum and coin show coordinator for
the two-day event beginning Saturday. “Dealers tell us this
is one of their favorite shows because of the historic setting.”

The Carson City Mint produced coins for 23 years in the late
19th century and now is the state museum."

"To Reno coin dealer Rusty Goe, a show in a former mint
is a special occasion.

“There's no better feeling for a collector than to look at coins
that were minted in the same room they're in. It's exhilarating,”
Goe said.

Goe, author of “The Mint on Carson Street,” will sign copies
of his book at the show. The official signing is 1 to 2 p.m.
Saturday."
