Description
1849 Norris, Gregg, & Norris Five Dollar, MS62
Reeded Edge, Period, K-4, R.4
1849 $5 Norris, Gregg, & Norris Five Dollar R.E. MS62 PCGS.
Period, K-4, R.4. This is a typically well struck example of the
Norris, Gregg & Norris five dollar issue of 1849. Still lustrous
and nicely preserved, the piece displays rich greenish-gold
coloration and just a handful of small marks on each side. This
coinage was hailed in the Alta California newspaper issue of
May 31, 1849, making it the first private coinage to be publicly
acknowledged in the Gold Rush territory. According to California
Coiners and Assayers, by Dan Owens: "The appearance of Norris,
Gregg, & Norris $5 pieces signaled a cascade of gold issues from
different bankers, assayers, and other firms which would continue
until 1855." Listed on page 360 of the 2009 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# ANJE, PCGS# 10282, GSID# 11857)
