vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/13/2010 6:01 pm I've always wanted a Southern gold coin, specifically from the Dahlonega Mint. I pulled the trigger on this one. I will also post in the grading section swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 03/13/2010 7:06 pm Beautiful coin! I also had an 1844-D at one point in similar condition, but I ended up selling it at a profit. It does appear to be lightly cleaned, but not too bad. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/13/2010 7:41 pm Man, that's cool! I want to go there and check out the gold museum. I checked out some YouTube videos. Looks like a cool town. I took my detector with me to Vermont and did some searching around the Rupert area where Reuben Harmin had his "mint" used to strike the Vermont coppers. I found a foundation overgrown with moss adjacent to the stream and started looking. Did not find any coins but found an old horse bit and some square nails. I plan to go back for sure. Let us know what you find! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 03/14/2010 11:16 am Wow! what a great coin. I have a real desire to collect a half eagle example from all the branch mints someday, but right now all I have is the Phillidelphia. This past week I visited the Charlotte Mint Museum of Art and affirmed that desire. I agree with XF, but cleaned doesn't jump out at me...what feature gives away that this coin has been cleaned? I have a tough time with gold coins. I would certainly only buy this one in plastic (as I see you have). Report this Post to the Staff
