Color Challenge – Wednesday Yellow – A Gold Dollar

in #colorchallenge • 6 years ago

I took a couple of photos of this gold dollar coin but I must admit that it is not mine. It belongs to my husband who received it from his grandfather years ago. It is a 1853 Gold Liberty Head dollar piece. Still looking pretty after all these years too! I have a very small coin collection myself but it is mostly silver. I don’t have a “steemit” silver round yet but hey, if anyone has an extra one and wants to send one my way then please do! 😉

    sweet! James B. Longacre's first design (it has the exact same Liberty head that is on the Liberty Head Double Eagle).

    If you look closely at the face profile of the:

    Indian Head Cent,
    the other $1 gold pieces (types II and III),
    as well as the $3 Gold Piece...

    you'll notice that they all have the same perfect Longacre-designed profile! My favorite engraver!

    Thanks @orionsbeltbuckle and pretty cool. I looked them up and definitely see the likenesses. It's a beautiful coin! I wish I had one of those Liberty Head Double Eagles! 😉

        What a wonderful old gold piece, Dee. Has it ever been appraised? I sometimes watch “Pawn Stars’ and old coins are worth a lot. They are located in Las Vegas. 🤗

          Thanks Jo! We did it again..we were at each others pages at the same time..lol! Never appraised but doing a rough search it looks to have a worth of under 500. It has much more sentimental value for him though.

            Great minds thinking alike again Dee. 😂. Yes, I can see the gold coin would be worth more as sentimental value and a it is a great conversation piece. ❤️
