The 1861-D Gold.
I know(I’m pretty sure?)that the 1861-D Gold that you’re after is the $5 rarity.
The Confederate struck some $1 coins back then, which are rare as well.
Here is a(3 part video) story about one of those coins from Daniel, a coin dealer.
History is cool…

Well said,
what a numismatic achievement if you pull it off. Be patient, shop around, and let the coin speak to you.
I’m rooting for you REB.

I love it. The history major side of me wants to dive in. Then, another side steps in and says, “Remember the great gold whale? The 1861-D. Eyes on the prize, son. And keep that powder dry.”

It was amazing to see so much money trading hands for such scarce and rare coins. It was really something to see.
One of the items up for auction was not a coin, but a coin die.
Not just any die either. It was a cancelled reverse die from a $1 Morgan set from the “S” Mint used during the 1800’s. During live bidding there was a flurry of activity, bringing a $10k proxy bid, all the way up to $38k. I wonder if a certain S-Mint ‘rumor’ had spurred some extra interest in the cancelled die? I guess old Mint hardware are collectables too!? Check it out.

Eye roll. Wonder what would happen if I offered 1 cent with seller picking up the postage?

The other day, I had watched the SB ‘Rarities Night’ auction live up until the FHG’s had sold. My post about it had been spammed ‘awaiting approval’ and hasn’t returned?
Anyway, the bulk of my post was about another subject that was interesting to me.
So here goes…

As much as I didn’t want to let go of the Silver, I chose it over Gold or cash on hand for the trade. The sole purpose in buying the silver from the beginning was to achieve a decent ROI, and I’m satisfied with the result. Now, maybe I’ll take a look into the Junk Silver chest to see what’s going on in there?
