US 1849C 5 dollars Obv.jpg
US 1849C 5 dollars Rev.jpg

The mintage for the 1849-C 5 dollars was nearly identical to the previous year, and is one of the more available dates in the series. Due to overzealous cleaning, brightening, and "enhancing" of most known examples, finding a problem-free representative can present a formidable challenge.

Recorded Mintage: 64,823.

Specification: 21.6 mm diameter, 8.359 g, 0.900 fine gold, .2418 troy oz AGW, reeded edge.

Catalog reference: KM 69.
