Wow, I'm surprised. This is exactly what I was going to cay... except I like the clark, Gruber Mountain $20 more than the $10. Don Kagin has a slug in his personal collectiong that grades about F02. I'd do anything to have a chance to buy it.

I have a fake one with a bear on it. I think I would like the real coins even better if they actually had bears on them.

Like Amanda, I'd enjoy a small California territorial piece and hope to add one some day....Mike

I only have one... I love the octagonals.

As for the fractional ones, it's a toss-up between the 1854 Defiant Eagle 25c, or the 1853 Arms of California 50c.

Can I have two favorites?
