Au Seeker Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Here's video made by North Carolina's PBS network, it's about some of the gold mining in North Carolina and a little known fact of the first American gold rush and the making of the first American $1 gold coin, which is a very rare coin today if you can find one.It's 28 minutes long but well worth watching, some of the actors are real North Carolina gold prospectors well known around Marion N.C.!!!http://video.unctv.o...ideo/2280029473 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homefire Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I always wondered how they made dies hard enough for the old coins when all they had was Bronz to work with.How did they Cut the Die? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
