Lot 1126
1849 Moffat & Co. $5 Gold. PCGS graded AU-55. A choice coin for the grade with mint fresh luster and outstanding surfaces that are alive with a golden glow. Boldly struck by the dies, and the eagle and Liberty's curls show crisp definition. One of only 9 graded this high, with 12 graded higher. Remember, these early Territorial coins were generally not on board the S. S. Central America, so the population will remain low. An impressive example that has excellent surfaces and color throughout.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
Purchased years ago from B. Max Mehl, lot number (?) 3215 from an unknown sale, as "VF+" (that plus goes a long way!).
