They decreased the shipping time for mail across the US from months aboard a ship or a 25-day stagecoach ride to an average of ten days. This was accomplished by setting up relief camps across the frontier where lone horse riders would ride between and relay mail across what is now Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California. Although it significantly decreased delivery time, it could have been unavailable to the general public due to its high costs. Along the route, riders switched horses and transferred mail between each other across 190 relief stations. Although expensive and unsustainable, the Pony Express was rendered obsolete when the transcontinental telegraph was completed less than two years from its inception. #### **ABOUT THE SILVERTOWNE MINT** The SilverTowne Mint has become well known for producing high quality, affordable, bullion products with exceptional purity standards. SilverTowne specializes in custom minting and offers a wide range of designs. Originally starting as a small antique and coin shop, SilverTowne has grown to become one of the largest private mints in North America.
