Have you ever noticed the small letters on coins and wondered what they mean? Join the Flint Flying Eagle Coin Club for an informative and fascinating evening with Tim Coleman!
Tim’s presentation, “US Mints & Their Mintmarks,” will take you on a journey through the history of U.S. coin production—from the very first coins of the 1790s to today’s modern strikes.
Along the way, you’ll learn about:
The origins and purpose of mintmarks
Historic and current U.S. Mint locations
A unique type set display featuring the first denomination and first-year coin from each U.S. Mint
Whether you're a longtime collector or just curious about the stories behind everyday coins, this is a great opportunity to learn something new!
