<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3900486, member: 101855&quot;]I wish my worst case of overpaying was only a few hundred dollars. Unfortunately it&#039;s many thousands. I got hung up on this 1855-D gold dollar in an auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those who don&#039;t know American coins, this was the only Type II gold dollar that was made at the Dahlonega, Georgia Mint. The mintage was 1,811 pieces and the number of survivors is estimated to be about 80 pieces, most of which are not as good as this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is nice for what it is because it has never been cleaned and the strike on the reverse, with the date sharp and strong, is exceptional. Still I got &quot;auction fever&quot; and paid WAY too much. I enjoy the coin greatly, but regret what I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1028052[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1028053[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
