Jack C. Davis Observatory at Western Nevada College has transformed the lives of many students and brought community members closer to the universe since 2003.

To commemorate the value of the observatory to WNC and the public, Western Nevada College Foundation has created a 20^th anniversary coin with the assistance of Ranger Industries in Carson City.

The coin is available for purchase through the Foundation Office in Bristlecone Building 145 or by calling 775-445-3240.

Proceeds from the sale of each $100 coin will go toward the sustainability and care of Jack C. Davis Observatory, which is named after the college’s first president.

The coin can also be ordered at the weekly Star Parties on Saturday nights at JCDO. Purchasers will fill out a form and the order will be processed the following week.
