Event Date:
August 3, 2019 (All day) An uncirculated 1883 Carson City Morgan silver dollar will highlight a raffle during the Friends of the Nevada State Museum fundraiser on Saturday, August 3.
The coin, donated by Northern Nevada Coin, will be raffled off during the Night with Notorious Nevadans – Mint Edition event in the Nevada Room of the Governor’s Mansion. Raffle tickets for the Morgan silver dollar are $5 and are currently available at Museum Store. They will also be available the night of the event.
During the fundraiser, some of the men and women who lived in Carson City and worked at the Mint and Museum from the 1870s to the 1960s will be recreated by members of the Friends and Museum staff. Follow us through history as you are introduced to many of the women trailblazers in the history of the Mint and you will also meet one of the men accused of embezzlement during that same time period.
A limited number of tickets are still available ($40 for dinner and the show) at the Nevada State Museum Gift Shop. Doors open at 4 pm for dinner, no-host bar and raffle. The show begins at 5:15 pm.
All proceeds support the Friends of the Nevada State Museum, a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization.
For more information call Dave Pierson at 775-883-7647.
