The 1840 Charlotte Five Dollar American Liberty Gold coin, minted in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a notable collectible in U.S. numismatics. Issued during a period marked by the California Gold Rush, these coins are composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, featuring the iconic Liberty head design. Due to their limited mintage and historical significance, particularly related to the Charlotte Mint's role in the gold standard era, they are highly sought after by collectors and investors alike. The 1840 date represents one of the earlier issues of the series, enhancing its desirability in the market.
