Recommended Posts


That’s what I’m talking about right there 🙂 thank goodness the grader did not ruin that gold coin. Two gold and no silver or are you holding out for the rest of the story? Good stuff for sure.

Double gold!  Way cool, Andy.  I don't recall you mentioning these when we crossed paths in early June, although maybe you did so without fanfare.  😁  I understand why you don't want to reveal too much -- I wouldn't either.

You probably looked up those coins (as I did) and noticed that 1849 was the first year that the USA minted gold $1 pieces.  Not a low mintage so no extra value over type, but regardless a fantastic pair of finds.  Still, next time how about getting a mintmarked one.  :laugh:

Once again proof they're still out there if you put in the research.  Well deserved.

Yea I'm surprised the grader didn't damage it. No silver yet, which is very odd.

I may have showed you a picture of the $2 1/2 when we meet up but I don't recall  

Yea 1849 was the first year and a year I hadn't found yet. I have found 1849-1854 now I believe. Might be missing 1850 but I'd have to look. Only mint mark I have found on those is O would really like a D.

They are still out there. You have to do the research and then dig everything

Nice productive place, Andy. Hope you get lots more out of there. I'm also curious what detector(s) you're using. 🙂

Saving history. 👍 Great gold!
