Rusty Goe expressed his gratitude for being in his own backyard (in familiar surroundings) presenting a talk to a roomful of people who shared similar passions about Nevada’s history. With that, he launched his presentation in the Nevada State Museum’s south gallery. He started by informing the audience that the south gallery is space that once served as the Carson City Mint’s gold and silver melting room.

On Saturday, April 17, 2021, Rusty and I spent most of the day at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City, where Rusty signed copies of his new The Confident Carson City Coin Collector. Because of Covid-19 restrictions and other factors, only a small number of people made their way to our table. Those that did enjoyed lively conversation sharing about their favorite Carson City coins and interesting stories about the Carson City Mint’s history.
The occasion also presented the opportunity for us to visit with Mina Stafford (and her husband Craig), the museum’s education director, and good and long-time friend Charm Phillips, the museum’s gift shop manager (one of her many positions).
Friends Al, Gary, and John engaged Rusty in much discussion about coins in their collections. Thank you guys for your many words of encouragement and support for Rusty’s new three-volume book-set.
All in all, Rusty and I had a great time at the Nevada State Museum, the home of the old Carson City Mint. Our visit brought back many fond memories.
