There are so many scarce gold coins during this time. I wonder why the mint even made some of them?1869 $5.00 Mintage 1760

The disappearance of silver during and after the Civil War saw the US mint experiment with base metal patterns - this of a 10¢ coin to in an effort to alleviate the hoarding of silver dimes - curiously the large cent obverse design was used for this and there are a few very rare examples created for collectors with the 1868 date and the cent reverse.
