Hi Craig,
The guy in the know is coin dealer Don Kagin in
Tiburon, California (who also always seem to have more
than his fair share of Pioneer Gold in inventory).
Since I consider this stuff all modern, I have not
followed the goings on at the SF Mint for a while. But
last I heard, it was vacated and considered an
earthquake hazzard requiring $50M to retrofit. Don and
several others in San Francisco have been trying to
raise money for this for a while but I don't know how
succesful they have been. Anyway, I drive by it pretty
regularly and thought it was closed. Don Kagin may
know different.
But if you are interested in San Francisco coinage and
the Gold Rush, I think Wells Fargo Bank maintains a
nice little Museum on this material and what they
carried on the Stages. It may require an appointment
though.
There is a very vibrant Ancient Coinage collector base
in SF and they meet once a month but I think it is the
second Saturday of the month so I am not sure that
will work.
Finally, there are a few (very few) Colonial guys in
the Bay Area (only two that I know in San francisco
proper). If you want, I can try to set up a dinner if
you have a free night.
Best,
Roger S.
