Pricing & History
(C. 1900) 'Restrike' 1860 Mormon Five Dollar Uniface Reverse Impression in Copper MS63 Brown NGC. K-8a. Plain Edge. A lovely blue iridescence is seen around the periphery with reddish-golden toning in the center. A boldly struck, premium specimen and one of the finest we have seen. The design features a beehive design with a spread-wing eagle facing left. DESERET ASSAY OFFICE PURE GOLD is around the margin. The beehive represents industry and was used as the symbol for the State of Deseret, which later became Utah. Deseret was the Mormon word for honeybee. The eagle was a symbol of strength.
