marshall mint & museum

Steve1362

The Marshall Mint & Museum is really a collectable coin, currency and jewelry store, which mints its own commemorative and bullion coins and ingots, plus a museum that contains gold, silver, minerals, gems and related items. The museum appears to essentially be the private collection of the family that owns the store and mint and, coupled with the items for sale, was actually quite interesting to look around with a number of informative displays. Even though we showed no real interest in making a purchase, we were treated warmly and never rushed. Considering admission is free, it is certainly worth a stop when visiting Virginia City but note that photography is not permitted inside the museum.

While the museum is actually a combination museum and store, it is a definite must for a stop during any visit to Virginia City. The store owner (or one of them) is a really nice lady who loves to tell you stories of what they are minting. And their work is excellent. My first visit years ago, I bought one of the angels and this year, a commemorative ingot. The actual presses were not working this trip and that is fun if you get a chance to see that.

If you're into coins, gems and jewellry this is a great place to visit. They have a huge assortment of gems and coins in the musuem and if you collect coins they also mint their own. It was a neat little place to visit with beautiful things.

My mother has been buying the "angles of the day" coins for our family for many many years. This was my first visit to the Museum. I loved the store and there was a great selection. It was so neat to see Grandmother, Mother and Daughter all working together. We will be forever customers. You must stop in to check it out if you are in the area. Virginia City is a neat old town so much history here.

The building is a little confusing upon entering, it looks to be just another gift shop/souvenir store but on the other side is the museum. A little small, but hey, free admission.

Always do my Christmas shopping here, as my wife loves amber jewelry. This place has about the largest selection of amber jewelry in Northern Nevada. You will not be disappointed, as the prices are very reasonable. Would not recommend the "museum" though, but as a jewelry shop, it is highly recommended.( Hope my wife doesn't read this, as then she will know where I shop!)

Free. Lot's of shopping if your looking for jewelry...... and gold nuggets to see. No pictures, couldn't locate any post cards to have for memory sake either.

This place is awsome! We went looking for some Christmas gifts, and were surprised by the museum, which contained the largest gold nugget I had ever observed, as well as other great displays. The fine gold and silver jewelry was incredible. We ended up buying some of the angle of the day necklaces. Stop in even if you are not buying. The owners Hugh Marshall and his wife were the nicest people! Thanks!

Nice Virgina City silver bullion to take home. Prices are a bit high but you gotta love the selection.

This jewerly store had a case of old coins and pictures of how it was minted. It also had a lot of antiques and new jewerly, we did a walk thru and out.

We always stop in here and visit with the owner and buy a few sparklies!The museum is fun to wander through and is well kept up. The owner is very friendly and loves to talk about the history and the silver mine. They get all the silver for the jewelry from their own mine. It is very reasonably priced and hand made. After several visits I own quite a few pieces and I always get compliments on there whereever I go. Take a few minutes to look around and maybe pick up something for yourself or someone you know would enjoy it!
