Description du lot

1849 Moffat & Co. $5. K-4. Rarity-5. VG-8 (NGC). This coin not only saw extensive commercial use, but managed to survive without acquiring any serious marks or other impairments - a rare set of circumstances for a privately issued gold coin from Gold Rush California. The rims are distinct with both sides also retaining bold outline definition to all major design elements. A curiously glossy texture is noted for accuracy, but the in hand appearance is very much one of warm honey-gold color. More affordable, yet still numismatically desirable for an example from this particularly important private California minter. PCGS# 10240. Click here for certification details from NGC.
