Bowie 5 Dollars MS Values
Details
Joseph H. Bowie joined his cousins in San Francisco in 1849 and possibly produced a limited coinage of gold pieces. A trial piece of the dollar denomination is known in copper, but may never have reached the coinage stage. Little is known about the company or the reason for considering these pieces.
Obverse: Pine tree with the words CAL. GOLD on the perimeter.
