<p>[QUOTE=&quot;larssten, post: 8103614, member: 78319&quot;]Thanks for your reply - a great piece you have. I share your motivation for collecting and am also fascinated by the history of California. Also remember reading Carl Barks comics and Don Rosas Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck being a kid which also covers the gold rush. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coins were purchased at WAGO 125 and came from Kunker 352. Just pure luck that the latter sale had a single owner provenance way back to pre-1960s.</p><p>To me, knowing the previous collector(s), this information gives a lot of added value. Also hope that this provenance gives a smaller probability of any of the pieces being fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the Kunker catalog: <a href="https://issuu.com/kuenkercoins/docs/kuenker352" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://issuu.com/kuenkercoins/docs/kuenker352" rel="nofollow">https://issuu.com/kuenkercoins/docs/kuenker352</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the collector profile of Hermann Schwarz - coins probably purchased early 1929 or between 1951-1958.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1409314[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1409315[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
