Description: Description Private mint. Stamped Blake & Co. Assayers - 20California Gold - 20 Dolls - SAC. - California - 1855The "mark" on the face is a reflection. Gorham Blake was a gold dust buyer for Wells Fargo. He went into business with John Agrell, assaying ores and stamping ingots. When Agrell died, Blake continued his business as Blake & Co. Since there were constant coin shortages caused by repeated closings of the San Francisco Branch Mint, Blake thought to make private issue coinage as other similar companies were doing to alleviate the shortage of money. Blake was a little late in beginning and by the time he created his first coins the era of private coinage in California was about over. This one is made of BRASS with a gold coating.VERY GOOD CONDITION We will combine shipping with our other auctions and only charge actual postage by weight so as long as the added item(s) don't tip the weight into the next postage class they ship FREESo you may want to click here to check out my other items.
