Description

This is a one-sided copper impression of the undated side of the five-dollar dies, which NGC lists with a reeded edge as Kagin restrike K-3a. Impressions from the Mormon dies were struck long after the coins, most of them on one side only, in copper, lead, brass and gilt silver. Kagin believed the uniface gilt copper pieces of the 1849 five-dollar dies were made in 1898, around the fiftieth anniversary of the first coinage (PCGS CoinFacts and dealer catalogues, search), and Heritage, quoted by Greysheet, dates the 1860 copper impressions to about 1897-1898. NGC lists these pieces under Kagin's restrike numbers. Catalogue numbers: Kagin restrike 3a. PCGS number 10280.
