Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4706 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:17 pm So far as I can determine, this is but one of a series of souvenir medals struck in copper (bronze?), but this one appears to be cupronickel in composition. A bit over silver dollar sized. Quite lovely die work. Some references state that the gold showing up in the 49er's pan is a genuine, albeit tiny, gold nugget (apparently glued in place), so I feel fortunate to have found this specimen intact.

Spence Moderator United States 26433 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:28 pm Interesting bimetallic token @lc. I see the initials NCM on the reverse to the left, but potentially something else to the right. Were you able to determine whose artwork this is?

Spence Moderator United States 26433 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 8:16 pm Ok yes it looks like this is another product of the Nevada City Mint, perhaps dating to the 1970s. Here is a link to help you with your research: https://coins.www.collectors-societ...px?sc=632972 A couple of us have previously posted Sutter's Fort tokens from this California-based private mint: http://goccf.com/t/93114 http://goccf.com/t/413815 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
