<B>1850 $5 Mormon Five Dollar XF45 PCGS.</B></I> K-5, High R.5. The Mormon Church, operating as the "Deseret Assay Office," issued gold coins dated 1849, 1850, and 1860. While denominations included $2.50, $5, $10, and $20, it is the five dollar pieces that are most familiar and most often seen today. Perhaps just over 100 of these coins exist today, along with 35 to 40 of the $2.50 pieces, possible 10 $10 pieces, and 20 $20 pieces. Among the five dollar coins that survive, about 50 pieces are dated 1849, with approximately 35 each of the 1850 and 1860-dated pieces. From the Pittman collection, and described by David Akers as: "Attractive medium coppery gold color; a trace of luster remains. Light hairlines and abrasions as well as numerous digs on the obverse below the mitre and on the reverse above the clasped hands."<BR><I>Ex: A.H. Baldwin & Son, London (3/24/1954); John Jay Pittman (David Akers, 10/1997), lot 1262.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
