CARSON CITY QUARTER SPENT IN COIN SHOW STUNT
An August 11 article in the Reno Gazette-Journal recounts
how E-Sylum subscriber Rusty Goe spent a valuable Carson
City mint coin to promote a local coin show."The search is on for an 1877-CC Liberty Seated quarter
minted in Carson City that is worth $300 to the person who
redeems the valuable coin at the Nevada State Museum.Reno coin dealer and collector Rusty Goe purposely spent
the quarter in Carson City last weekend to raise awareness
for the Carson City Mint Coin Show on Aug. 28-29 at the
state museum.""Goe said he made a $2.37 purchase at [a] store and paid
with a stack of quarters with the rare coin tucked among the
modern quarters."I tried to divert the clerk's attention in the hope that he
wouldn't just look at each quarter and he didn't," he said.Goe said he has the receipt that shows the date, time and
location of his purchase. He said the transaction was
photographed from a distance."I winked into the camera then I walked out of the store,
and we took pictures outside to use as a reference. The
cashier had no idea what was going on," he said."- 2004-08-15
