<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25578402, member: 101855&quot;]If the 1840s are included in this string, here is the most interesting coin of the decade, the 1848 CAL. quarter eagle. This coin was made from the first shipment of California gold bullion that made it to Washington, DC. It took the Army officer who was assigned to bring it, three months and one week to travel from San Francisco to Washington. This map shows his route.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1637590[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And here is the coin. There are between 160 and 200 of these pieces known. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1637591[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
