Description
This is the 1849 five-dollar gold piece with the name of J. H. Bowie, as PCGS and NGC list it. Nothing is recorded of J. H. Bowie beyond the pieces with his name. Adams describes a copper dollar reading J. H. BOWIE, 1 DOL., 24 G. and 24 C., with a pine tree between CAL. and GOLD on the other side and a plain edge, and knew of no gold example. PCGS number 10035.
