<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 7958617, member: 92655&quot;]I never dipped my toes into these waters, though I&#039;ll admit that they interest me. Heritage is doing an auction tomorrow on California fractional gold so I wasted thirty minutes perusing the offerings. One thing that struck me was the myriad of different gold hues from one piece to the next. Now I know that all coins tone differently, but it just got me to wondering. Being these were private offerings, does anyone <i>really </i>know the purity of these pieces? And secondly I had always thought the Coinage Act of 1864 addressed privately struck coins. All I can find is that it addressed the motto and addition of the two cent coin. Didn&#039;t the 1864 Coinage Act address privately minted coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
