Description du lot

1850 Moffat & Co. $5. K-7. Rarity-4. Small Eagle. VF-25 (PCGS). OGH. Pale olive-gold with faint traces of luster in certain recessed areas. A moderately circulated example that held up well to the rigors of commerce with no serious marks assault the unaided eye. Exceptional for the grade and worthy of strong bidder support. These coins circulated widely and became a staple in commerce. Today they remain fairly scarce. 1850 represented the last year in which Moffat & Co. produced coins of the $5 denomination. After that they were preoccupied with the Treasury Department to work with Augustus Humbert and also to conduct the United States Assay Office of Gold. PCGS# 10243. NGC ID: ANJ6.
