I have an 1849 gold coin. The one side reads 'the Lord Holiness The other side reads Pure Gold Ten Dollars, has 2 hands shaking, there appears to be a T above the hands Is this real and if so, what do you think it might be worth?
It would be a Mormon $10 gold coin minted in Salt Lake City. If genuine, they are worth many thousands. But that is the question, is it genuine. Fakes abound. The person you need to contact is Bob Cambell at All About Coins in Salt Lake City. He is one of, if not the leading expert in the world on these coins. You cna look up his shop (named above) in the phone book.
You are describing a Mormon $10 gold and there are far more fakes-replicas-copies-counterfeits on the market than there are legitimate examples. My immediate reaction is that you have one of these ubiquitous fakes.
i think its value is higher.just experts in this field evaluate it's value exactly. How can u have it? __________________ edited
