I spent the weekend dumping my clad in coinstar machines and got $400. Stop by the local coin dealer today and pick up these two beauties. In 1851 one dollar gold coin and 1852 2 1/2 dollar gold coin. Way better than sitting on dirty clad coins in mason jars.

Nice! I traded mine in for my Deus (along with plenty of gold jewelry and other finds). Now that I don't think I'll be upgrading my detector again, all my clad is going into PM's.

Great idea, nice coins! Can't wait to see them! I really want a gold coin minted in Charlotte, that might be a pretty penny though...

Unfortunately no keepers,hard to believe, only been mding for about 4 months I hope next year will be a different story. Happy hunting to all and may your holiday be joyful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I got a good deal on them. The $2.50 coin was only $247 and looks to be XF to AU. The $1 coin was $150 and is F-VF. I can't find any on Ebay even close to the price I paid.

One bit of advice. In NC they charged me sales tax! Apparently if you buy online you can get away without paying tax. Buyer beware though.
