The History of the Carson City Mint 🏦 The Wild West Treasure Trove of Rare Coins (PAWN MAN Ep. 78)

In this episode, I'm diving into the captivating story behind the Carson City Mint, the jewel in the crown for collectors and history buffs alike. Nestled in the heart of the Wild West's silver fever, the Carson City Mint was a pivotal player in the American coinage saga, producing some of the most coveted coins today.
➡️ I explore how the discovery of the Comstock Lode's vast silver deposits led to the mint's creation, its essential role during its brief years of operation, and the circumstances that led to its closure. Beyond the minting process, I delve into the mint's lasting legacy in the numismatic market, highlighted by the fabled GSA hoard that brought Carson City coins to the forefront of collector's wishlists.
This episode is more than just a history lesson; it's a journey through the era that shaped America's economic and cultural landscape, brought to you with support from our sponsor, Guardian Group Services, offering a comprehensive array of certification and training courses. Join me as I uncover the stories etched in the silver and gold that passed through the Carson City Mint.

Nice job 😊😊😊

[@dcallan812]

I have my great grand fathers handcuffs, whistle and ceremonial truncheon, from when he was head of police in South Shields, in the UK. Great episode 2x👍

[@TruckerMan1979]

I’d love to see you do a video on the New Orleans Mint and talk about how some minting plates or the press themselves were supposed to be destroyed, but were some how lost and never recovered. Could you imagine the value on some plates that aren’t supposed to exist?
Keep up the good work.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Love my CC’s! Thanks for the history!

I didn't even notice you had a new video. I consume your content on a different short form platform. I only use TH-cam for long form. I get overwhelmed by the push notifications on the shorts and miss the videos.

[@lewisoverfield5294]

Thx on the video live here in Reno Nv

[@charliemacreviews]

This was such an informative Video about the Carson City MINT - Should DEF make a trip start a fund raiser send EVAN to the USA MINTS for video content - next time your in NY we going to the Fed Reserve Bank Downtown - get some Old Federal Reserve Bank Notes and do a video 😎

[@joshk3366]

Great video once again!

[@PatoSwag]

Great episode

[@NerdAboveALL8]

I think it might be more cost-effective and profitable to separate the metals from gold plated and filled jewelry.

[@a_lol_cat]

Insert Cleveland Steamer joke here
