The first gold rush in the USA occurred in North Carolina and Georgia. Templeton Reid is the first territorial gold struck. Templeton Reid, a goldsmith, jeweler, gunsmith and watchmaker made local news when he coined small amounts of locally mined gold into 2.5, $5 and $10 denominations. All are very rare to extremely rare. The placing of a rare $2.5 denomination into a private collection is worthy of news as these coins are few and far between with the Official Yeoman’s Guide To United States Coins, aka “The Red Book” shows a price of $300,000.00 in XF or Extremely Fine Condition. The current specimen is graded Extremely Fine Detail-Repaired and is a six figure rarity as such.
