Lot 1125
1849 Norris, Gregg & Norris $5 Gold. Reeded edge. PCGS graded AU-58. Here is one of the finest known of this rare issue. PCGS has only awarded this grade to 3 coins, with 2 graded in the lower range of Mint State above. Moderate handling marks in the fields, with a small planchet crack left of the date near the rim, continuing through the coin to the opposite side. Well struck, with the large 5 on the shield visible. As this is one of the early territorial issues, most of those coined were remelted into "current" gold coinage during the ensuing years, and precious few remain for collectors today.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 12,000.
