Georgia-Struck 1830 Gold Coin Sells For Record $480,000 in Atlanta

A small gold coin with a face value of $2.50 when it was struck in northern Georgia in 1830 sold for a record price of $480,000 to an anonymous Georgia collector in an auction in Atlanta Thursday night, February 27, 2020.

It is one of the finest known of less than two dozen surviving examples privately struck by Milledgeville, Georgia cotton gin mill manufacturer Templeton Reid during the state’s historic 19th-century gold rush

    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.

    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.

    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......
