A VISIT TO THE OLD SAN FRANCISCO MINT

In his October 13, 2014 Silver Ingots blog, Ken Conaway published several photos from his recent visit to the old San Francisco Mint. Check it out! Here's an excerpt. -Editor

Julie and I are enjoying a week in San Francisco and I had an opportunity to tour the Old Mint building over the weekend with the San Francisco Museum & Historical Society.

The building itself remains a magnificent landmark but has recently become the focus of a legal battle between historical societies vying for control as well as responsibility for improvement plans and future use.

A neat experience spending time in the Old Mint and thinking about standing where people dropped off scrap silver and came back for the ingots I now treasure.
