'No-CAL' 1848 $2.50. Strong detail; looks 55. One of my favorite gold coins. COMBINED pops as follows- 14/42, + 7/45. You do understand we are not talking weight loss when we specify "No Cal" yes? In 1848 the sister to this coin is the 1848 CAL. Please check the pops on the CAL and then compare prices on both the CAL and this NO CAL. After you shake your head in disbelief send me an email confirming your purchase of this NO CAL. There is a take yur breath away difference in value.More
