<B>1850-Dated $20 California Gold Mines Token--Corroded--NCS. Good Details.</B></I> K-1, Low R.7. 21 gr. Donald Kagin, in his <I>Private Gold Coins and Patterns of the United States</B></I>, indicates that this copper token was probably engraved by William Lemme of San Francisco, and that all known pieces are gold plated. The obverse design elements are clearly outlined, but the reverse eagle displays only the right (left facing) wing, the date, and the letters MINES CA. Each side reveals a few corrosion spots, the most notable located in the upper left obverse quadrant.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
