kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 07/07/2023 8:56 pm I wonder if it's the same Moffat family as the one behind the Moffat railroad/water tunnel in Colorado (from Rollinsville to Winter Park). The latter was David Moffat, 1839-1911, important Denver financier and railroad baron. Report this Post to the Staff
Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 630 Posts	Posted 07/13/2023 12:11 am Not surprising about it being found in France; New Orleans and France were likethis back then... lots of nice U.S. Gold of all Mints have been purchased from French coin dealers. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 07/13/2023 9:58 pm These are S.M.V. (Standard Mint Value) private $5 gold pieces minted out of California nuggets and gold dust from 1849 & 1850 for the Pioneer West.I believe Moffat & Co. also minted ingots as well. Beautiful coin! Congrats! I regret selling my VF20 piece years ago. I want to replace it one day. Beu swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
