Will Robins, of Westchester County, N.Y., is just 16, but has been exhibiting, writing and lecturing about coins for about four years. He's won numerous awards and received recognition from the Numismatic Association.

"He has lectured senior numismatists and historians at Colorado College, as well as the national convention in Milwaukee and other places " said Steve Graham, a family friend. "He's impressing others who have been in the business much longer than he has."

Robins will give a lecture and display on the Carson City Mint and the Comstock at the Nevada State Museum. The display and lecture, "Carson City: A Numismatic El Dorado," is free.
