Billie Baxter New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 11/01/2024 04:09 am I have a 1852 Liberty Gold Coin. Below the wreath I have the letter R (photos attached). I have found other letters in this forum including the letter O but have found none with the letter R. Is anyone able to help me identify this coin. Many thanks * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1574 Posts	Posted 11/01/2024 2:28 pm @Billie Baxter No such a thing as a R mint mark. As stated before, a replica coin, perhaps gold plated. Report this Post to the Staff
