Number 337 issued to DB Waters for 100 shares in 1882. Signed by president MN Pritchard and secretary CH Neilson. "Constitution" vignette. Cut close on the left when removed from book. Uncancelled. No rips, tears, dog ears, pinholes, discoloration. Gold was first discovered in Georgia in 1829 in placer deposits near Dahlonega on the Chestatee River. As mining progressed two northeast trending belts of gold mineralization and attendant placer deposits were defined. Production was substantial enough that in 1838, the U. S. Government established a branch mint at Dahlonega that continued operation until 1861. Coinage in excess of $6 million in value was minted during that period from this branch. Placer operations continued to be productive well into the 20th century, but production from lode deposits exceeded those from placers sometime after the close of the Civil War [Yeates, et al, Jones] (Al Adams Gold Rush Memorabilia Collection) Date: 1882 Location: Dahlonega, Georgia HWAC# 56978
