. This ever popular Territorial gold coin
comes with the PCGS special Gold Foil Tag. SSCA 7060.
Although circulated as expected, this shipwreck brought
forth an incredible glimpse into the coins, bars and dust
from the peak of the Gold Rush, which saw the greatest
amount of gold production coming forth in 1857, right
when this ship went down, loaded with artifacts and
wealth. This coin had been in circulation for about five
years, and as we know today virtually the entire mintage of
all Territorial gold coins were melted and recoined into
standard United States coinage. A rare variety and wonder-
fully historic and handsome.
