<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HawkeEye, post: 2725683, member: 86305&quot;]I looked back through this thread and did not see anyone comment on the historical nature of the coin.&nbsp; The Charlotte Mint, like Dahlonega, was in business for a very short period because the gold ran out and the Civil War caused the Union to shutter them.&nbsp; The coins from these two mints have a historical context that is beyond collecting and grade.&nbsp; I think we need to preserve them all for future generations no matter what condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was about 10 (many moons ago) I had a cousin in Athens, Georgia who was a Dahnolega Mint collector.&nbsp; He put together a complete set of the gold coins from the Mint which had to be rare even in the 60s.&nbsp; I would love to be able to replicate that set no matter the condition.&nbsp; Most of these coins were used in commerce, and I am sure Roosevelt melted more than a few.&nbsp; So historically I view them as very important no matter the condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the coin in question sold for $303, so about in the middle of the prices discussed here and I believe a bargain if purchased for the long haul.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
