Early North Carolina Gold Mine Stock Certificate
Stock certificate dated September twenty sixth, 1808 for one $100 share in the North Carolina Gold-Mine Company. Made out to Robert Frazer Esquire of Philadelphia and signed by the president F. Wiggins at Washington. Approximately 7” X 5”. Very Fine or better with two rust spots on top and some edge roughness. Overall in nice shape.
Much of the gold used for our government’s early coinage came from North Carolina and Georgia soon after gold was discovered in 1799 by Conrad Reed near present day Charlotte, North Carolina. This is one of those earliest of gold mining operations!
A very rare certificate from our nation’s first Gold Rush.

Ex: From the Allen Collection.
