  Dahlonega, Georgia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dahlonega Gold Museum sits in the exact middle of the town square, in the old Lumpkin County Courthouse built in 1836.
Dahlonega was the site of a branch mint between 1838 and 1861, when Confederate troops seized the facility and operations ceased.
The mint at Dahlonega was a small operation, usually accounting for only a small fraction of the gold coinage minted annually, and it was deemed unnecessary to reestablish the facility after the Civil War.

 Writer's Corner - The Coloration of Dahlonega Gold Coins
In fact, the Dahlonega Mint produced gold coins from a variety of gold sources: naturally-occurring gold (from Georgia, as well as other states), foreign gold coins, gold bullion, scrap gold, etc. The Dahlonega Mint even produced coins from gold that was brought in from great distances.
Admittedly, since all of the coins from Dahlonega are now at least 141 years old, this is a “fine line” with something as subjective as one’s perception of a coin’s coloration, but a distinction that is necessary if we are to be able to make sense of this.
It should be noted that there may be 1853-dated Dahlonega half eagles (and possibly quarter eagles) that were minted in late 1853, after the Dahlonega Mint was directed to reduce the silver content, that have a silver content more in line with the 1854 Dahlonega coins that were analyzed.
