    I am fortunate to own one of these in xf undamaged. I live in No.Georgia. I purchased this coin from a family who lived in Dahlonaga. It had been in the family since the 1870's. Their ancestors saved 32 $1 gold pieces. This just happened to be one of them. Probably was in general circulation for about 15 years. I bought all 32 of them. They ranged from VF to AU with none of them holed. It was not until 2 years after I purchased them that I noticed the 'D' mint mark. I knew it could not be from Denver as it was opened in 1906. I did some research and was amazed of the history of this coin. I was going to orignally put all 32 of those coins out for sale in my shop but did not get around to it. Good thing as I would have sold it as a circulated common date.

    Amazing. Never knew CSA did that. What an honor to be able to actually touch the gold itself. I think that coin should be in a museum.

      The CSA took over the New Orleans mint and tried to get currency into production but were ultimately unsuccessful

    You know, Daniel, like you, over my lifetime I have come to appreciate numismatics not only for the appeal of the hobby, but because it is related to history and provenance. It's not just this 1861-D gold dollar, but the 1848 CAL Quarter Eagle, the Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin Colonial Currency, and private gold from the Gold Rush. You actually touched this coin, and I can only envision the excitement you must have felt because of what that coin represented. The thrill of being able to own and touch something historical also comes with the humility of what it represents, especially this unique coin: the moment that the Dahlonega, Georgia United States Mint seceded from the Union and came under control of the Confederacy. Thank you for sharing this extremely important video, and congratulations for your handling of such a precious piece of American history!

      The first time I held an 1865 flying eagle... imagined the things bought, heard, seen by the people holding this coin.. truly our ancestors.. I fell in love with Numismatics... I was 15 years old.
      I still have that wornout coin.. and many others.

    At first I thought "oh boy another fake" no no, just a weak strike. I appreciate that piece of info on why they were weakly struck. Really unfortunate because the wreath boughs on these coins are a great design. They chose very good leaves/crops/plants that represent America so well and go together to produce a really beautiful complex image on such a small coin. The artist really knew what they were doing. That's the kinda coin that makes you love your country. Also I like that you mention you got to hold it in hand. I'm always cracking my certed coins out because I want to hold them and look at them raw. Can't stand having a beautiful coin and only being able to see it through reflections and scratches on plastic. They ought to make premium holders that have some sort of anti reflection/glare properties and a sapphire crystal exterior to eliminate scratching. They have glass like that for art frames and make sapphire phone screen protectors. Why not for coin holders? It'd definitely be worth paying extra on some coins if you want them protected but still be able to appreciate them in their full glory undisturbed.

    1861 is not old for a coin. Interesting that the mint doesn’t have records. I mean the coin is not even old. Interesting info. Thanks for sharing.

    • @CoinHELPu
      @CoinHELPu  11 місяців тому +2

      It is for a US coin, and if a person was born in 1861 they would be considered old. So that is a matter of mere perspective.

      To be fair, the Confederates commissioned the coins to be struck by a mint they took control of during the Civil War. So either records weren't kept by those who took over authority, or they were lost after the CSA fell.
