A rare Mormon gold from nearly two centuries old is set to go on display for all of Utah to see.The coin from 1849 is currently at the All About Coins shop in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City, but it can been seen at this weekend's Utah Coin Show in Sandy.Minted from the gold dust first discovered in California during the Gold Rush, at one point it was brought to Salt Lake City and made into coins, according to All About Coins owner Bob Campbell.
“It was actually found by a family in a safety deposit box after their grandparents had passed away,” Campbell said. “The family had no idea what it was worth.”The coin represents a piece of Utah’s rich history.“It speaks to the early days of the pioneers,” Campbell added. “To see history in your hands — that’s what makes it so interesting.”For Frank Balena, a new coin specialist at the shop, being surrounded by the rare coins never gets old.
