Lot 1822
1848. NGC graded MS-61. Now here's a flashy coin. Abundant luster beneath a myriad of abrasions, only one (above the first star) of any size. Decent enough for this period--remember, there wasn't a lot of native ore to turn into quantities of coin at this point. Charming to real collectors for its magic date: it was in January of this year that James Marshall stumbled onto some shiny pebbles at Sutter's sawmill on the American River, and altered the course of our history forever.
