Fast and dirty picture in the safety deposit box room. Will redo when I get a light tent set up.
The 1850 Seated Liberty pocketpiece is an 1850-O dollar.

Another group shot. Foreign coins are 1950-dated Peru 20 and 50 Soles and Chile 100 Pesos. Forgot to get the Vatican gold out for the shot. U.S. coins are 1850-dated $10 and $20 plus the dollar.
Sorry for the bad photos, need to learn how to use the new camera.

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......

They would just pour molten gold into a series of molds and then weigh them up after they cooled and mark them. The next bar in the tray might have been 50.36, the next one 51.89, whatever. This one happened to survive.

Read the title of this thread and the date stamped on the bar.

The bar was made in 1950.
I was born in 1850.
