I was in New Orleans last week and stopped by to tour the museum in the old US Mint. Although I find a lot of old coins detecting I am not really a coin collector. Most of what I know about coins I have learned from a friend who is a collector and here on the forum. I am a big history buff and go to many museums, and I have to say I really enjoyed this self guided tour. If you get the chance I would highly recommend visiting this museum. Here's just a very small sample of what I saw there.
