I still see a lot of uncertified low to mid-grade coins come my way. I find that a large population of people in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina have these coins put away in boxes and have never heard of PCGS and NGC. Some of the dates I've seen are even the rarest of the rare dates!!! It may be that these coins are so popular but in respect to other dates during the 1830's -1860's they really are not much rarer! I do not see as many of the mint state coins as I'd wish. I think over time that for example of half eagles dated 1852 or 1853 will become the 1891 CC's of the "D" mint and the values will slowly fall over time. They are not in any way close to being rare! People investing in the ultra-rare dates like 1864-S should take note because these pieces will soon ride the wave!! Larry Jackson Hi Doug,

What would make the new book even better is larger photographs of the coins. The details in the text could more readily seen if the photos were larger and more of them. I would gladly volunteer, as would many collectors, photos of their coins. Color would be even better, but I understand the cost would be even greater to publish.

Perhaps it will rekindle my interest in collecting Dahlonega gold. RYK I look forward to the next edition of the book. Perhaps it will rekindle my interest in collecting Dahlonega gold.
