Philadelphia is a city in Loudon County, Tennessee
& Pennsylvania, Being this is in a Tennesee Paper & Doesn't say
{Philadelphia,, PA} , I'm inclined to Believe Tennessee , Even Though I Cannot Find third Street in Philadelphia, Tennessee

That was quite a find. 1872 gold price 23.19 and coins considered ancient over 150 years ago, add collector value, todays price would be an incredible amount.

Philly is like a zombie apocalypse. I did some line work years back in North Philly and swore I'd never go back.50 feet up in the bucket and had a dozen crackheads raiding the company truck like I wasnt even up there.lol..

I’m guessing it was face value at $500
