Like many collectors I appreciate the history of our coins, the buying power from the year minted, the hands it may have passed through for exchange, where it may have traveled, etc.

What is the oldest US gold in your collection and what was an interesting historical fact from the year minted? This is mine:

On Feb 23 of this year (1836) the Battle at the Alamo began. Two days later, Samuel Colt received the first patent for his revolver design. On June 15, Arkansas became the 25th state. There were 26,000 ounces of gold mined in the U.S.
