<B>1849 $5 Norris, Gregg, & Norris Five Dollar R.E. AU53 PCGS.</B></I> No Period. K-3, R.6. Norris, Gregg, & Norris was the first California private gold coiner, although the firm's output would soon be surpassed by Moffat & Co. The Period and No Period varieties appear to be struck from the same dies, with the low relief period (after ALLOY) filled on rarer examples. This green-gold example is richly detailed. The obverse field has subdued thin marks, particularly near 6 o'clock, but such abrasions are characteristic of lightly circulated pioneer gold.
