Lot 1378
1850 Moffat & Co. $5 Gold. PCGS graded EF-45. Struck during the initial free-wheeling days of the California gold rush, with some of the new-found gold that was pouring into the local cities from the mining areas. Moffat and Company was perhaps the most important of the California private coiners, the assay office conducted business in a semi-offical character. The successors to this firm, Curtis, Perry and Ward later established the United States Branch mint of San Francisco.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
