My first ever gold coin - 2 1/2 dollar, 1847 O !

Been on cloud nine all day. Also got 3 silver dimes, a copper ID bracelet engraved and a maker's mark of GOLDEN KEY with a skeleton key symbol, wheaties, and some other stuff. Haven't taken a group picture yet cause I'm still reeling!

Thanks for looking!

I wanna see that group picture of it with the 3 silver dimes, a copper ID bracelet engraved and a maker's mark of GOLDEN KEY with a skeleton key symbol, wheaties, and some other stuff. If they were all found by you that day :thumbsup:

Banner and I'm jelly too. I want to find a gold coin, I bought a few gold coins a few years back before I ever started metal detecting. To me they are the most beautiful coins there are.
Your coin is very pretty, she takes on a whole different look in gold! Congrats on a great find, someday I'll find a gold coin, might take awhile, but I'm determined.


Here is a link to your coin.

Congrats on the great find! I, like most of us I imagine, am still waiting for my first gold coin after 23 years of hunting. One of those once-in-a-lifetime coins, and I can inly imagine how happy you are! Continued success to you..
