Details
All sorts of unusual gold coinage sprung up as a result of the famous California gold rush of 1849. One of the most famous coins to come out of this era is the Horseman design by Baldwin and Company of San Francisco. It is an amazing coin and one that deserves special mention. Genuine, original Baldwin Horsemen are extremely valuable. The coin catalogs quote values such as $60,000 US dollars in average circulated and an uncirculated condition coin realized $195000 in a Goldberg Auction. Two things happen with wildly valuable coins, where they are often counterfeited or legally copied.
