The article does not mention if it is D or C gold... or a mix. I guess they did not care since it was a private minting. Cheers, RickO
I believe that’s the same coin that Kagan had at Long Beach a few weeks ago. Its an incredible looking PCGS/CAC 58.
A bit nicer than AU58......
Beautiful coin, but weren't Brasher dubloons the first privately issued gold coins in the US?
Large sum of money, but how often is one of those offered for sale? And that one looks very nice.
its good to have something special in ones collection like that (expensive or not)
That’s a cool piece!

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
