<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24578686, member: 101855&quot;]Unfortunately things were not that great by this time. Georgia gold was high purity, but there was not enough of it to keep everyone employed. After gold was discovered in California, some Georgia miners went to California. Some went California and came back, bringing their gold back with them. Therefore an 1853 dated Dahlonega coin might well have California gold in it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course some years after this, the Civil War started, that was the end of the Dahlonega Mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
