    I put "Gold Coast" in my eBay search back when I joined eBay in 2002. Still haven't bought a Gold Coast coin.

    Seen plenty of fakes, kept getting outbid on the real ones. Haven't actually looked on eBay in ten years, but haven't seen one for sale anywhere else any time that I've gone looking.

    Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

    Maybe 30 years. Always wanted a Canada 1967 $20 gold, and eventually found one at my local dealer. Perfect condition and got it for bullion! That was about 10 years ago, don’t know how many are available now.

    Gold Coast? What country or countries exactly?

    Decades for an 1877 farthing (in any condition) and an 1845 halfpenny in mint state. Have them both at last.

    Yes, The country we now call "Ghana" was known as "Gold Coast" while under British colonial rule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Coast_(British_colony)

    I've been working on a mint state set of NFLD half dollars from 1904-1919. Only eight issues (four each of Edward VII and George V) and while the set is complete, I'm not satisfied with my 1907, 1908 or 1911 pieces. This set has been under construction for years and years.

    There have been hundreds of Gold Coast coins sold at Stack’s, Heritage, and various other auction houses in that time span.
