Unc. Details, K-3, High R.7

1849 $5 Mormon Five Dollar Uniface Obverse Gilt Copper Impression--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Unc. Details. K-3, High R.7. Kagin believes the various uniface impressions in lead and copper to be restrikes, "probably made during the 50 year [Mormon] anniversary in 1898. ... The gilt specimens have wire attached to their backs in order to mount them on poster boards." The center of the blank reverse displays solder residue, as made, although the wire has been removed and a portion of the solder area is scratched. The obverse displays faint hairlines and scattered small freckles of dark patina.
