Re: Sylvia Gailey Head 1903-2007 - Dahlonega Mint Historian
. Fatman I read with interest your post and went to the web site for background history. Although I do not collect gold I have studied Andrew Jackson a great deal. This is a short piece I wrote for my web site. It ties the Dahlonega Mint with Andrew Jackson in a political sort of way. And my condolences for a lost friend.… -
Re: Today April 9, 1865,,,,General Lee and General Grant Sit Down.
Why limit this to coins? Here is a political medal from the 1868 presidential campaign that highlighted one of the great concessions that Grant made to the defeated Rebels at Appomattox. He allowed the men to take their horses with them so that they could use their animals for spring planting. This was significant because… -
Re: I've never seen a silver Pan Pac quarter before...
That's a Panama Pacific Exposition Commemorative quarter. They also issued half dollars (more common, I believe) and gold pieces. The Panama Pacific International Exposition was the 1915 worlds fair held in San Francisco, California. Taking over three years to construct, the fair had great economic implications for the… -
Should There Be A New Breed Of "Show?"
I wish I had the time to create a real quality show in the Los Angeles/Southern California area. The weather is perfect here, and is an especially attractive alternative in winter months. It would be great to just create a new type of atmosphere, one where collectors are maybe "invited" to come and share their collections… -

Re: 1984 Alex Shagin medal/pattern
Here's a quick Ebay write-up by my friend, now deceased, Steve Pellegrini. I was given his hard drive upon his passing. I'll dig around some more as I seem to recall he was in direct contact with Shagin at some point. We are offering a collection of the early medals of Alex Shagin. These are medals he created while… -
Re: Help educate a "TYPE" geek. C and D mintmarks especially.
I posted the following to a similar thread on January 2, 2004. << <i> I collect Dahlonega Gold. Special? Yes. For me it’s just a neighborhood thing I guess. Dahlonega is one of my favorite playgrounds. I live an hour from Dahlonega which sits in the high foothills of the Appalachian (Smoky) Mountains about 70 miles north… -
Re: What's so special about C and D Mint gold?
I collect Dahlonega Gold. Special? Yes. For me it’s just a neighborhood thing I guess. Dahlonega is one of my favorite playgrounds. I live an hour from Dahlonega which sits in the high foothills of the Appalachian (Smoky) Mountains about 70 miles north of Atlanta. I have hiked/backpacked the woods of the area, canoed the… -
Re: Poll: The Fed has raised interest rates; who is responsible for creating the Fed?
Originally posted by: cohodk Was the Fed created because the gold standard didn't work too well? The extreme boom and bust cycles occurred because the bankers were cheating on the gold standard with paper money and paper money entries from 1812 to 1933. Blaming gold is like blaming the "messenger." The first big event were…
