GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 10:12 pm Do the descriptions I posted match the coin you have? It's possible it could be an original but a lot of times there are modern day replicas of older medals. Where'd ya get it? Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 10:27 pm Ok this is the most Detailed Info I have found. There isn't a pic online because I can't find it Haven't seen any form of pricing either. Only ones that have been for sale in the past were for the silver issues. I bow out and hopefully someone else can take my info and run with it Report this Post to the Staff
amilne22 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/20/2009 10:32 pm It did match your first quote. Everything else I had I could find online quotes for them. I couldn't find a quote for a coin that has an R on one side and on the other side it says that it is Good for 5 cents in trade. The other coin I can't find a quote for is a coin for 1849 that has California written on the other side with a man panning for gold. Report this Post to the Staff
