1884 Carson City Morgan Silver Dollar Raffle Highlights the Tin Cup Roundup at the Nevada State Museum
An 1884 Carson City Morgan silver dollar donated by Northern Nevada Coin is being raffled by the Friends of the Nevada State Museum. The raffle will highlight the Tin Cup Roundup fundraiser planned for Saturday, September 21 (5 to 8 pm). Proceeds from the raffle and the event will support the restoration of a 1967 Chevrolet pickup truck for the State Museum.
In the 1960's to 80's the Nevada State Museum had a 42-foot trailer which served as a mobile museum. This trailer travelled all around the state bringing museum exhibits to every county in the state. The Museum still has one of the original pickups which pulled this mobile museum. This 1967 Chevrolet step-side pickup has sat dormant since that time. The Friends of the Nevada State Museum are fundraising to bring this pickup back to life!
Raffle tickets for the Morgan silver dollar are $5 and are currently available at the Nevada State Museum admission desk. They will also be available the night of the event. All proceeds support the Friends of the Nevada State Museum, a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization.
