[QUOTE="Christopher290, post: 3123785, member: 80124"]THIS HAS BEEN REPOSTED WITH A DIFFERENT NAME, BUT IT WONT LET ME DELETE THIS THREAD. IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY, PLEASE DELETE THIS ONE, NOT THE MORE RECENT ONE. CHEERS. Hello everyone, haven’t been on here recently but now is the perfect time to come back. I am looking at an 1854 California Gold piece and am wondering the value. I know that there are a lot of reproductions that were created around the 1950’s, and I am honestly not sure anything about the coin, even whether it is genuinely from the time listed. I KNOW THE PHOTOS SUCK. The coin is so dang small that it’s hard for the camera to focus WHATSOEVER. A few things I definitely do know: -There was a shortage in cash during the California gold rush, so people created their own money to use as currency. This is either, (I’m not saying it’s 100% ginuine), an 1854 California gold piece #2 or #3, as the wreath doesn’t end above the “I” on the back. First of all: opinions on when it was made. Is it genuine? Second: price guess. A fairly good range would be very helpful, as I have NO idea about this coin. Is it $5 or is it $1200? Also, if possible, how do you differentiate between the ones from 1850 to 1950? Thank you so much![/QUOTE]
