In a continuing effort to make the C4OA discussion board as interesting to as many members as possible, we have added a new category. You can find it under the Carson Mint History section.
It is called Nevada & Carson City Exonumia
Following is a brief description of what kind of information you can post in this category:
Exonumia refers to coin-like objects, such as tokens and medals. It branches out to include counterstamped coins, all similar non-coin items, such as ingots (bars), canceled dies, impressions struck from canceled dies, elongated coins, and basically any non-paper-like collectibles you want to link to coin collecting. For this C4OA forum, we want to limit the discussion to Carson City Mint- and northern Nevada history-related items.
If you have questions about what kind of collectibles you should post messages about in this new category, please send us an email.
I think this is a great idea. As i mentioned earlier to Mitchel, I am always on the lookout for CC related items, but I simply have not run into anything yet.
