[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1876575, member: 112"]Yeah I get the connection, but unless you've got very deep pockets I hope you're not including the 1848 CAL quarter eagle. Even problem coin examples of those start out around $20,000 and go up from there. Since you specify 1848 that leaves out the California gold coins/tokens issued by private mints because those didn't start until 1849 with most 1852 and later.
