Question
I saw where you commented on this coin and its value. I just discovered one that my father gave me. Could you please comment on its value? Thank you very much.
Hi John,
The 1853 $.250 gold piece is a common date in the series. Depending upon the condition, it could be worth just it's gold value which today is about $80. However, if it is in mint condition, the value would be a minimum of $300 but can rise from there for gem specimens
