    Too Cool!! I always liked how they hid the mintmarks on some of these Charlotte coins.

    I like Charlotte gold, but I really like Dahlonega coins more.

    I’ve always thought of these two mints together. I’m curious why you like Dahlonega more?

    For me it is the realization that while Charlotte was a small town to have a mint, Dahlonega was a small village.

    There are some great looking Charlotte's here. I like the 1838 and 1839 with the C mint mark on the obv. Some day I would like to own an AG03 or lower

    Exactly the reason why I prefer Dahlonega. When I was a YN I had never heard of the place and I didn’t know how to pronounce it.

    I have always hated the 1842-C Small Date, perhaps the most over priced coin in the no motto half eagle series

    "here are some nice charlotte coins i used to own."

    Ouch! I'm not too married to any coins I own EXCEPT my old American gold.

    One day when gold goes through the roof I suppose I'll be a seller.

    i collected charlotte coins...then half eagles...then double eagles. i can't keep them all! plus, you learn a lot being a seller. selling and trading are part of the collecting experience, and make you a better numismatist.

    I like Charlotte gold, but I like Dahlonega Gold more. On average the Dahlonega mint made better coins, and the fact that town of Dahlonega is something less than a household name adds some romance to the coins.

    There are some neat issues, like the 1854-D Three Dollar Gold Piece. Charlotte received Three Dollar Gold piece dies, but never used them. There is also the 1855-D gold dollar with a mintage of 1,811. The 1855-C counterpart coin was made very badly. It does not matter if you buy one in graded EF-45 or AU-58, they look about the same.
