<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25398902, member: 101855&quot;]I have a Dahlonega coin type set, plus a few other pieces. Here are the two hardest pieces, at least in terms of price. The mintages are shockingly low.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1855-D gold dollar is a one year type with a mintage of 1,811. The estimated number of survivors is 80. This one is well struck on the reverse. This coin can come both ways with a strong and a weak reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1626486[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1854-D Three Dollar Piece has an even lower mintage of 1,120. The number of survivors is high for that mintage with an estimated number of 300. I suppose it has something to do with the first (and last) mintage of an odd denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1626487[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been to Dahlonega a couple of times. It&#039;s well worth the trip. There more there to see than just the old courthouse museum and the site of the mint which is now administration building for the college. If you wife is into shopping, there are some nice stores around the center square.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am surprised that they let you take a picture of their collection of Dahlonega coins. They won&#039;t let me do that when I was there. Yes, one of their collections was stolen, and they had to rebuild it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can post some other coins if there is interest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
