A couple months ago, @Zoins started this discussion here about the so-called Baldwin restrikes:
https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/comment/12077440#Comment_12077440
Some of what came up in the thread seemed as though it might make for an interesting article, and since I'd been talking with CoinWeek about doing a regular column, I decided to take the plunge. This is the second article I've written that started out as a discussion on here, which is a reminder to me about what's so special about the message boards.

Some great history therein. Really enjoyed the article.
Having held and examined the Horseman $10 struck over an 1844 Large Cent, I can say that this piece is magnificent. I heard about this piece a couple years ago before the opportunity came to see it in hand. When I first heard about it, I didn't really believe it. But wow! It's an amazing piece. Holy sh*t it's rare!
While the article is long, you will learn a lot of history about the time of the California Gold Rush. Very interesting read.
Great article.... Thanks for the link and the work. Cheers, RickO
