Daganoweda | They did it before the US government minted gold! | 00:16 |
holstein | cool | 00:17 |
Daganoweda | They didnt really make a lot of them and and most of them actually were worth a bit more than the face value so what ended up happening to them was that most of them have from their way to be melted and then reused by the mint for othe governmental and other gold coins | 00:30 |
Daganoweda | So theres not a lot of them left, only 15 such examples have survived and that makes them extremely desirable by collectors | 00:30 |
