Description
Plain Edge. The first coiner’s name to appear in California newspapers was Norris, Gregg & Norris and they were very probably the first private company to issue gold in California. These half eagles were struck from 100% California Gold in May of 1849. The present example is sharply struck with semi proof-like fields and has the greenish-gold color of California mined gold. The eagle on the reverse is exceptionally sharp and the eye appeal is outstanding!
