 1849 $5.00. Moffat & Co. K.4 (R-5). About Uncirculated. This obverse presents a boldly struck Liberty head and date with hints of die rust. The reverse shows a fine die crack at the base of ALIF, advanced die cracks atop FIVE and through DOL. Here is an unusually satisfying example of the smaller-denomination gold coinage of one of the most respected of California's private coiners, John Little Moffat.
