Another Gold Nugget

I just purchased this last month for $45 under spot and that’s at today’s lower prices. It weighs 1.1 grams and comes from California. Look at the note that came with it. The note was folded up and in a 2 x 2 clear plastic flip, as one the nugget.
I only enlarged the first photo to show its actual size. The second photo I went larger to show more details. The note is really neat and special to this nugget.

I had some BIEs and news letters that I bought from a former member of the Lincoln Cent BIE Guild. He and the Guild president, Joe Bush, lived across the street from each other in Fort Lauderdale. Apparently Bush got seriously ill once, because there was a note mixed in with everything:

"Gary, come get your coins before the undertaker steals them."

 

Gold, given me by mothers brother
(Can’t make out the name) sometime in the early fifties on his visit to Portland from California

 

The paper is very old.

 

Yeah, when I read "early fifties" I think nineteen-fifties - but that looks like the handwriting and ink flow on letters my family has from the eighteen-fifties, for sure.

 

My first thought was 1950’s as well. Then I touched the paper and looked closely at the writing.
