Description
This is the 1851 Dunbar & Co. five-dollar gold piece. Edward E. Dunbar ran the California Bank in San Francisco and later founded the Continental Bank Note Company in New York. His firm struck a single denomination, the five-dollar piece of 1851 with DUNBAR & CO. on the coronet, and Adams thought it may have used machinery taken over from Baldwin & Co. A lot of the coins assayed at the Mint in 1851 averaged .883 fine. Catalogue number: K-1. PCGS number 10183.
