Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 11856)
Unlike many of the private issues that would follow them, the Norris, Gregg & Norris $5’s design was radically different from federal coinage. The obverse featured a stylized heraldic eagle holding a shield emblazoned with the numeral 5, surrounded by the legend “CALIFORNIA GOLD. WITHOUT ALLOY.” The reverse advertised that it was the “FULL WEIGHT OF HALF EAGLE.” The 1849 issues from the firm are found with both plain and reeded edges, and, based upon die state evidence and the early report of an example with a plain edge in New Orleans, it appears that the plain edge variety was struck first. Plain Edge Norris Gregg Norris $5s often come with prooflike or semi-prooflike surfaces. Any original, uncirculated example would qualify for inclusion in the condition census.
Obverse: $5 on Federal Eagle.CALIFORNIA GOLD. WITHOUT ALLOY.
Reverse: N.G&N. SAN FRANCISCO 1849 22 stars around. FULL WEIGHT OF. HALF EAGLE

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
