Item Description
A "golden" deal of nine, sculptural, flattened, river-worn, gold nuggets from the historic Yuba River placers area. They were mined and kept in a family collection since the 1950s or 1960s, I was told by my source, who sold that particular family collection. They have a rich, mellow-yellow patina and really interesting, curvaceous forms, from flattened disks to nubby, sculptural forms. Total weight is just over 6 grams. The current gold price is $1337/ounce or just under $43/gram. Bullion value is $255. Specimen value is more. For this locality, they are excellent.
