    Well I have a couple good stories, but no photos right now.

    I purchased my first pioneer piece in 1972 from the April-May 1972 Bowers and Ruddy Rare Coin Review (FPL), number 14 issue. It was an 1849 $5 Mass & Cal copper pattern (Kagin 2b). It cost me (and my dad image) $395. I had actually ordered an 1861 Clark Gruber $10 piece for $595, and was expecting that, but Nancy Ruddy called me and apoligized that the coin had already been sold... she asked me if I had a second choice, so I quickly pulled out the RCR and found a pioneer piece in my price range, which happened to be the Mass & Cal pattern. I still have this first major acquistion today. I had it certified by PCGS in 1999. It is one of the 2 copper $5 patterns now certified at PCGS, and currently resides in an PCGS AU55 holder. I have been planning to photo for Don Kagin, but just haven't gotten around to it. i

    The other interesting story involves a Cal Fractional Gold piece I sold to a friend a year or so ago. I was assisting him find some nice pieces for his Cal Gold Collection and located a super BG-799A in a PCGS 65 holder. Due to the economy, he had to sell his Cal Gold collection earllier this year. It was sold through Heritage. Turns out the BG-799A was misattributed, and actually the reverse was found to be a previously unknown reverse die, and is the discovery piece for the variety. The coin was given a new designation, BG-799GG, and was sold at this year's ANA Heritage Platinum Sale in August. My friend got quite a bargain, I learned to check both obverse and reverses all the time when verifying attributions.

    Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Tokens were issued to circulate in a government sponsored colony in Alaska-----making them "colonial" tokens.

    Alaska was not a colony. It was a U.S. territory. There's a big difference.

    No, but the place where they circulated was in Palmer, AK, within a government sponsored colony. The legistation even referred to the program as a colony.

    North Carolina was never a territory. Nice piece of privately issued gold coin though.

    Perry Hall,
    It probably would've been more appropriate for Lakesammon to entitle the thread as "Territorials and Private Issues for the weekend" since he opened the thread with a private issue. California was already a state by 1861 also, much like North Carolina was by 1831-1834.

    Side note: I've been seriously contemplating expanding my interests to Bechtler issues considering their ties to NC history and gold sources... not to mention they look pretty cool.
