<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 26305234, member: 153164&quot;]This is a coin that falls into a lot of firsts, being - my first California gold token, my first gold coin ever purchased on GC, and if the R-5 is correct, my rarest coin to date.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1679419[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1679420[/ATTACH] </p><p>This was $176 with Buyer&#039;s Fee; while Greysheet for AU50 is $225, most of these California gold coins can achieve over that even with a Details grade - many a time have I been smoked like a mile-long cigar on these gold pieces on GC because of that. Every piece I&#039;ve owned before this is either fake or the BG-1328 that I think may be real, but thankfully I know this one is authentic. </p><p><br /></p><p>An R-5 is an estimate of around 46 to 60 surviving pieces. Several others, out of the hundreds of varieties, are R-5 or higher and still don&#039;t get the recognition they deserve.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are your thoughts on this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
