A California Gold Rush History by Q. David Bowers. A shrinkwrapped example of the ultimate Gold Rush numismatic reference, published to promote and accompany sales of gold bars and coins recovered from the 1857 wreck of the S.S. Central America. The book has a pinch of gold inside the front cover, and displays color plates of all assayer ingots from the shipwreck known at the time of its 2002 publication. Just 400 copies were printed.
