F.U.N. 2020 Auction NEWP

1857-D $2.50 NGC AU58 (CAC). Heritage Lot 5190. My first pick-up of 2020 and a ‘win’ at the Heritage auction last night. I will say that I definitely bid more than I had planned, and for an amount that exceeded the price guides (PCGS, NGC, CDN and CAC.)

Dahlonega gold pieces with nice, original surfaces are getting harder to find and this one checked all my blocks. I tracked several other Southern gold pieces in the auction and can conclude that the market is still strong in this category-based on final prices and number of bidders participating.

Anyone else feeling the sting of a stretch buy from this week?? Photos below are from Heritage.

Wow, that is a big buy. Congrats. How does Dahlonega gold fit into your collection? Are you buying by type?

Thanks-D Mint gold is my primary collection focus. Having a complete date set in each denomination is a goal. I’m just trying to be patient and enjoy the quest, and not go broke on the way!
