# 240 for 100 shares. Signed by JD Hocum and president Jno. N Pritchard. Dateline New York 1881. 'Constitution' dome vignette. Thompson & Moreau printers. Fancy scroll work. Simple, yet elegant. Very light foxing upper right in border. Excellent condition! 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.

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] Prag Collection State: Georgia City: Dahlonega Date: 1881 HWAC# 81938
