Lot 1998
1861 J.J. Conway $5 Restrike in "Goldine". MS-65. This coin was struck with the original die used to make the extremely rare $5 gold piece of J.J. Conway, of Georgia Gulch, Colorado. These restrikes were made around 1956 by the Colorado Historical Society (Breen) although the envelope notes 3,000 were struck in which this came. Nice surfaces, and the central obverse has been partially punched out (as made?). A later curiosity for the collector.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
