🥇 BANNER Mind blown. Rare 10 Dollar California gold rush era gold coin.

[bonepicker]

Haven’t posted here in a while, but todays find has blown my mind and I wanted to share it.
Today I was digging an old oyster shell road near downtown that has been recently disturbed by construction.
Last week I found a 1845 LC and a 1853 half dime at this location.
Decided to go back and made one of my best finds ever.
1852 10 dollar California gold rush era, gold coin.
In…. Wait for it….
South Mississippi.
I never knew this variation existed.
First I thought bottle cap. Then I saw the writing and I thought car wash token, or arcade token. Then flipped it over and saw the eagle. OMG ten dollar gold. Still can't believe it.
Likely dropped by a wealthy New Orleanian who vacationed here during the summer.
