Thanks old dog,Steve,Dang,Baldingboy,Lil' Finder,T'Hunter and Mcsancho,I wish you all the best of luck! I've finally,I think, positively ID'd this gold coin.It appears to be an 1853 california 1 dollar gold coin,Deriburpie was the engraver,thus the DERI on the reverse.As best as I can tell it is of the BG-523 variety. BG-519,BG-522,BG-524 are all close but different and I can find no examples of BG-520 or BG-521 so it is possible it could be one of them but the BG-523 is very close if not exactly like mine.Did a little more research and found out that the total NGC and PCGS population of this variety in all grades is only thirty coins so it is quite rare.I also found out that the last one sold at advertised auction was sold in april of this year and was in MS-62 and sold for $1610.00 so I'm thinking mines worth 6-800 dollars in it's condition.I'm sending it to get it slabbed and graded so I'll know for sure that it is the variety I think it is.Who knows,if it comes back as a BG-520 or 521 it could be worth far more but I think it's a 523,we'll see!How's this balding boy?Arghhh, Good luck ta ye,and thanks for reading me post mates, Bootstrap |

Thanks for the replies Marty,AU4me,Poppa and FMM,No I didn't get it graded yet but proly will at some point,there's just something about being able to touch it.I know it's better for it to have it slabbed but i'm gonna leave it raw,at least for now.HH, Bootstrap

Vinny,
I Know exactly what you mean.
There are pieces in my collection that are special enough to just need that little bit of touch to confirm....
I have a couple of those. Just have to take em out and play with em from time to time.
And there ain't nuttin wrong with that!

Thanks for the reply Allen.I'm tellin' ya man,keep the faith and be persistent, It can happen to anyone who does thier research and puts themselves in an area that's old enough to hold a gold piece.Thanks again, Bootstrap  |
