In reply to Lucas Gould. There is a press in Carson city that was used to make coins there. It had been used in other mints previously. It would be reasonably easy to ship another press to New Orleans and run the coins. The mint building is now used as a museum. Move some things around and mint coins in the building.

In reply to cagcrisp. Wish they would have shipped a press to Carson City and Orleans and actually minted them there... make the mintage lower for those two

The Mint no longer has the original designs in whole. They have pieces. On the conference call they said they would try to be as close as possible to the original designs.

There will be 5 different Morgan Silver dollars. Mint mark with D and S. No Mint mark for P and Philadelphia will mint coins with CC and O privy marks…

OK so this is an easy one. take the old designs off shelf and re-use them. I don’t see how they could do any other design that would make any sense – if they somehow manage to come up with one then I’m not interested.

As they are, I would assume, old designs, why do they have to go through the CCAC and CFA? Haven’t they already been approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, John Sherman (in 1878) and Andrew Mellon (1921)?
