[QUOTE="rld14, post: 523675, member: 16133"]Kelly, We need pics but perhaps I can give you some basic advice. There were gold coins privately issued in what's now Utah in the mid 1800s. All are quite rare and worth a lot of money. If this coin is real it's one of a small handful known to exist and incredibly valuable, as in, $100,000+ if worn and $500,000 if mint. It is possible you have one, but in all probability, you have found some token or souvenier coin with little value or a replica/counterfeit of a real one. The reason I say that is, well, the real ones are VERY valuable because they are VERY rare, only a handful are known to exist and the have been collectible for a long time, so you'd probably not find one in an old wallet or carried in a wallet, these would be the kinds of things you would find in a safe deposit box or well hidden. Get some images posted and we can tell you if you've got a neat conversation piece or if your find will pay for a new Ferrari or two. As for authentication, I would think PCGS would be your best bet, go to [url]www.pcgs.com[/url] and get their customer service # and ask them if they slab territorial gold, I do think that they will.[/QUOTE]
