How the 1870 Coin Press operates at the Nevada State Museum | U.S Branch Mint, Carson City Nevada

The 150th Anniversary of the opening of the U.S Branch Mint in Carson City Nevada happens in February 2020. The Coin Press 1 was first in operation in 1870. The most popular medallion is the replica 1870 Liberty Seated Half Dollar (complete with the Carson City ''CC Mint mark), the first half dollar to come off the press when the Mint opened in 1870. The Museum is doing a limited-edition run of the replicas in honor of the Mint's anniversary (sesquicentennial). Coin press 1 was built in 1869 by Morgan& Orr in Philadelphia, In 1878, it suffered a cracked arch, which put it out of commission for a time. Machinist at the local shop of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad repaired it, and replaced the original brass plate bearing the name Morgan & Orr with their own. The plate is still in place in today. Between 1870-1893, Carson City Mint produced $50 million (face value) of gold and silver coins, including gold double eagles ($20) and eagles ($10), half eagles($5) silver dollars , half dollars , dimes and 20-cent pieces. Today, coins with the CC Mint mark are highly prized by collectors and among the most valuable in the collecting world. Don't forget to like, comment, share and subscribe to my channel!
