A single 1850-dated Norris, Gregg & Norris $5 with "STOCKTON" on its reverse resides at the Smithsonian Institution. Its discovery in 1959 cleared up the mystery surrounding San Francisco-based engraver Albrecht Kuner's statement that he prepared dies for Norris, Gregg & Norris, despite his arrival in California months after the firm began to issue coins. While the 1850 STOCKTON $5 shares an obverse die with the 1849-dated pieces, its reverse was probably engraved by Kuner, who described the firm as "Stockton merchants" to a friend in the early 20th century.
