The Moffat Company was a prominent mint in the mid-19th century, primarily known for producing gold coins during the California Gold Rush. In 1849, they issued the G 5 denomination, often referred to as the "Moffat gold" coins, which were struck in San Francisco. These coins are significant for collectors due to their historical context, limited mintage, and association with the early days of the U.S. gold standard. Collectible Moffat coins feature distinctive designs and are sought after for their rarity and connection to the era's economic expansion.
