In January of 1838, two half eagle dies arrived in Dahlonega, and coinage began. During the next twenty-four years, gold dollars, quarter eagles, and half eagles were issued. A few three dollar gold pieces were struck in 1854. Many of these were rather crudely made owing to the primitive nature of the equipment, a characteristic that modern collectors often find has a certain charm. From the standpoint of value received for the price paid, American gold coins from the Dahlonega Mint offer many fantastic opportunities for the alert buyer.
Dahlonega gold has everything going for it - rarity, romance, and a totally unexploited marketplace.
