Ten Dollar Gold Coin California

Holman formed Baldwin & Co. In 1851, Baldwin & Co. Unfortunately, an official assay revealed that Baldwin's coins contained less gold than their stated value, and all confidence in their coins disappeared (this was not an unusual circumstance, as most of the other private assayers suffered the same fate). The 1850 Baldwin & Co. This unusual design deviated from many of the other privately issued gold coins of the period in that it did not attempt to mimic the gold pieces issued by the federal government.

This was often done to promote circulation and to prevent someone from questioning the veracity of a particular coin. The cowboy design is very popular with collectors today, and its rarity is an added bonus. Coin does no read copy on coin. COULD BE A 200K COIN.

Because of the assay This coin does have less Gold than stated Value. If this is original coin Eureka you have a Most Valuable coin.
