It took us a while to figure out that it was the Mint. A homeless guy showed us the Plaque. I know we are not supposed to encourage panhandling, but I gave the guy a fiver because I figured he was pretty much acting like a volunteer Docent.
I bought my first proof sets at that Mint. I also bought those bicentennial commerative sets there in 76. On the tour they would stamp a coin right there for you. I hope they bring the tour back.

They'd brand an "S" right on a rat's back for the visitors?
