The American Prospector and the Gold Rush

5 months ago (Edited)

Have I shown you this piece? It is a silver charm California Prospector down on one knee, panning for gold.

There is gold in the pan!

But whether it be the Golden State Mint 1982 American Prospector, or the 1973 World Mint Corp Prospector Silverado Round, or the Highland Mint 1 Oz Prospector Silver Round, or the 1982 GSM Silver Prospector Amazon Quarter Dollar Round...

Or the 1986 Sunshine Mint CCPMA Prospector Round...

Or the Regency Mint Gold Panner Divisible Silver Round

Or the Englehard American Prospector Round which was minted from 1982 to 1987...

Or a Limited Edition TEN DOLLAR Gaming Token...

Or The Prospector 1 ozt silver art bar made from .999 fine silver by the Mother Lode Mint in 1972...

Or the iconic SilverTowne Retro Prospector Silver Bar...

Or this chunky 1970 3 oz Vintage Silver Bar by Day Mines, Inc. Art Bar of Wallace, Idaho...

Or this 2024 BCB Hand-poured Silver Miner #888 Silver Art Bar 9.6 oz

or a 1/10 oz PG&G Gold American Prospector...

And it all started with the

1925 California Diamond Jubilee Half Dollar!

Yes, it was in California that the Gold Rush occurred in 1849!

It was the most pivotal event in American history. It's not the traditional American tale of achievement followed by a willingness to keep trying and failing. None of this was true during the gold rush in California! Success depended as much on luck as anything else.

At that time, the rush for mineral wealth and the promise of quick money were quite alluring. It was a seismic event in the middle of the 19th century that changed the California's demographics and geography.

I've got one of those prospectors with the donkey. It is one of my favorite pieces because it is just so simple. I love all of these. I am hoping to hit the bullion store on Tuesday and pick up some more stuff.

Oh, that's so iconic!!! A prospector with a mule!
A strong, dependable pack mule was essential to any prospector's way of life. As the prospector traveled from one spot to another in quest of gold and silver, everything from daily rations to tents and mining tools was put on these mules.

And these prospectors were colloquially called 49ers. A their journey to find their fortunes led to the development and transformation of the State of California.

I have never seen so many silver coins in my life, I only have four silver coins that my grandfather gave me, in a moment of economic need I was about to sell them.

If I could, I would love to have this passion of collecting silver or gold coins.
