  1849. PCGS. AU-55. Moffat $5.

  $12,000.00

  Similar in design to the regular $5 Liberty except Moffat & Co appears on the coronet instead of LIBERTY and the reverse has the legend S.M.V. California Gold replacing UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This nearly mint state example of this relatively crude coin has nice detail and plenty of light yellow-gold luster remaining.

  1850. PCGS. MS-61. Moffat $5.

  $20,950.00

  Moffat & Co. of San Francisco struck rectangular gold ingots and gold coins. They produced $5 pieces in 1849 and 1850 and $10 pieces in 1849. The words MOFFAT & CO appear on Liberty's coronet instead of LIBERTY as seen on regular U.S. Mint issues. This is one of the few mint state survivors of their coinage. It is well struck except for just a touch of softness over the ear and has bright lustrous surfaces.
