MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 11/23/2014 12:38 pm @ Tbone glad that I can add some info to help you expand your knowledge of gold. I may not be able to own some of the coins I've shared but I can certainly drool over them. @Cherreepicker if you like that one, then you'll like the proof one I found for 1850 -MV Report this Post to the Staff

Assays done at the US Mint proved the Mormon gold coins were underweight and debased. Report this Post to the Staff

Kilbourne, Macgruder, Taylor, Abernathy, Wilson, Rector, Campbell (a G was mistakenly used instead of a C) and Smith. A second engraving mistake occurs on the T.O. should read as O.T. (Oregon Territory). The $10 coin corrects these two mistakes and omits Abernathy and Wilson's initials as they didn't help purchase new equipment. These coins were heavier than the federal coinage since they weren't alloyed. They carried a premium and most were likely melted down and recoined. Report this Post to the Staff

Tbone Pillar of the Community United States 1839 Posts	Posted 11/23/2014 4:45 pm @ The Silver Searcher I wish, but no they are not. I will probably post a few of my own coins as we get to the 1860s though. Report this Post to the Staff

Tbone Pillar of the Community United States 1839 Posts	Posted 11/23/2014 5:05 pm 1849-O 10C, VF35 PCGS Cert Page Large TrueView Image This is one of those coins that's not special. It's not rare or even a high grade. But it's a coin that fits this thread because it's one of the best of TrueView. It shows how any coin can be really great looking regardless of rarity or grade. And a TrueView image can really bring it out. Report this Post to the Staff
