1976 San Francisco California Numismatic Association 1oz Silver round C5241c9-6(02262025) A clean old piece right here. The little man was used to hold this round, as it didn’t want to stand up on its own. Then wait for you to respond. I’d rather not have to ask at all but some folks only view the main image and read the title… And that can make for some headaches that I’d like to avoid. Thank you in advance! Why stack Plane Jane Silver when you can own a piece of History? ! Some pieces I’ve had since I was a kid (1970s), while others I’ve recently acquired. Either these pieces sell and I’m able to pay my mortgage next month… Or I die and my collection goes to my Granddaughter. If you aren’t happy with my asking price, feel free to shoot me an offer, but please don’t complain. No need for that. Yes, some pieces in my collection I highly value, so you will want to make an offer that’s strong enough for me to part with that item. Some coins, rounds and bars have dings, scratches, toning, smudges, etc. You should be able to see these imperfections in the images provided. I won’t point them out individually, thus the quantity and quality of the images taken. When I handle my silver pieces with white gloves, sometimes the cotton sticks to the edges of the rounds. “1oz” means 1 troy ounce and most of them are not exactly 1oz… Sometimes a bit over, sometimes a bit under. Please view the last image with the scale. Please view all photos to see exactly what I have here. Some coins/bars can be AU or BU or better or worse. I’ll let you decide. If I do not respond, that means your answer is right here in the listing. If you show disrespect in my direction, you will be blocked from doing business with me. I have neither the time nor the patience for disrespectful humans… You will receive exactly what is described in listing and/or shown in photos. If you do not, then we have a problem and I’d like to know about it asap. Making an offer? And if you see a big sale happening, that means I need funds NOW. If you do not see “it” or read about “it”, then “it” is not included. It has nothing to do with this item itself. PHOTOGRAPHY: – Sony A6400 with the Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 lens on the Sony A6400 inside an LED light box, sitting on an old mirror or black surface. Lighting can be tricky so I try to capture each piece at different angles with different types of lighting to show you as much detail as I can. I see some sellers using fake edits or stock images for their pieces. I won’t do that to you. Lots of time spent taking all these photos… But most of my time is spent editing; cropping, adding light, etc. I want each image to be as nice as possible. Yes, I’m a photographer that cares. The amount of toning one sees depends on the light and the angle. Don’t like the total you see? I drive to the post office to get your item(s) safely handed off, so that takes time, gas and wear/tear on my truck. If your package gets lost or destroyed, you’re covered for the amount paid. If that’s a problem, please speak up. NO local pickups, unless otherwise specified in the listing. Quite costly in time and gas. OTHER: – From time to time, I lose items. I try to stay organized, but sometimes it happens. I do not use a telephone to communicate… Besides, I’m getting old and have a bad memory. No time to chat on the telephone (I’m a Grandpa now). I’m a “ONE MAN SHOW” over here. I’m not a large company and I have no employees. I do it all myself. Find ELVIS’ PLACE on Social Media: – Facebook pages Elvis’ Place and E. For those of you that do, I applaud you, as it seems there are fewer and fewer of you out there. I have my entire financial future invested into my inventory. Yes, my “retirement” plan is on my shelves. My place of business is located on an expensive part of planet Earth. Overhead keeps going up. I’m not rich. I own no property. I own no home. Rent is due every month…. Then that mortgage will be due every month. Thanks for keeping this a smooth and simple process.

1847 How a Yankee SEA CAPTAIN joined the CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH. Autograph Letter Signed (his retained copy). Hamburg, Germany, [December 9, 1847]. To Meir Krohn [Cohn]. I have been quite disappointed not seeing or hearing from you this day, as I had reason to expect. This is to inform you, that my mind is now full made up to embark on board my vessel tomorrow. Wind fair or foul, provided the weather suitable for the reason I shall desire you to pay three outstanding bills and then close my account but before doing which I must see you. Now as yet not a document of any description relative to my business. Have I yet seen. The letter, copied by Goodrich on fragile paper, is complete but separating at folds, with a lower portion which had come detached, tape repaired on verso; minor edgewear; otherwise Fair to near Good condition overall. The letter is undated except for the docketing note on verso, which looks it was originally written as 1848, then changed to 1847. But it’s probable that Captain Goodrich, having just completed a voyage from the capital of Uruguay to Europe for a German Jewish financier (the surname “Krohn” was changed from “Cohn”) had run into legal problems while stopping at the Portuguese Azores. This may have decided him not to continue transatlantic crossings which is why, in 1848, he was receptive to an offer from “Lord” George Gordon – a pretended British nobleman – to sail a group of gold-seekers in the perilous route around Cape Horn to San Francisco and the gold fields. York, is chartered to convey this Associati0on. She is commanded by Capt. Goodrich (one of the members), an experienced Cape Horn and Pacific Captain, who has made some of the shortest passages on record, sails January 18th. This Association is thoroughly equipped with horse-power Machinery, Tents and Camp Equipage. A small Steamboat is taken out for running on the Sacramento [river]. A Geologist, Assayer and Physician accompany the expedition. The first group left New York in February 1849 on the overcrowded, leaky vessel Goodrich commanded, for a hair-raising 8-month voyage around the Horn, a second group led by Gordon himself, following via the Nicaragua route, both, after great hardships, arriving in California in the fall of 1849. “Lord” Gordon, who narrowly escaped a violent conflict with his disgruntled passengers – and probably also with the irascible Goodrich – went on to become a rich San Francisco wheeler-dealer.

California Miners Bank San Francisco 10 D Token Coin Gold Color. I believe these were anniversary coins. I’m unsure when they were remade. We know they’re not golden composition. A little over 1 inch in diameter. I have not seen any other of these types. Nothing can take the place of an original. These are NOT the originals. They do not have any markings saying copy on them.
