Nice find for sure...What's the value of a coin like that ?
RED BOOK; 1852 (philly)
mint state condition
VF -20 $ 550
EF-40 $ 575
AU-50 $ 600
AU -55 $ 650
MS-60 $1600
I think many of those $1.00 gold coins weren't used much,
because of they were such small coins, (smaller than a dime)
many were made into jewelry.
So if you find one, it may very well be in good condition
Unless it's like the one I found that was made into a pin,
with a pin hasp brazed on the reverse side,
I cannot see the mint mark.....
