Picked these up last month. Great jewelry pieces but it sure ruins the coin. This is an 1851 $1.00 Gold Stick Pin. It's not cleaned, just scratched from wear. Here's an 1853-O $1.00 Gold Stick Pin. A few scratches from wear with a little dark brown toning. I couldn't resist them for some odd reason.
Silly Doug, it's just gold flavored. Don't you know we eat gold now. Yeah, it's a thing... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...est-chocolate--youll-need-order-days-advahtml
