Item Description
A "golden" deal of five, 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 to nubby to rounded forms. Total weight is 6.7 grams. The current gold price is over $1434/ounce or over $46/gram. Bullion value is about $308. Specimen value is more. For this locality, they are excellent. These are the last of the stash we bought.
