Like the Baldwin Horseman, the 1850 Baldwin $5 obverse die was engraved by Albrecht Kuner; However, its reverse was struck using the die used by Dubosq & Company to make its 1849 $5 copper patterns. Baldwin and their peers would follow the custom, established in 1849 by Moffat & Company, of mimicking the issues of the U.S. government. Somewhere between 25 and 30 examples are currently known in private hands. The finest of these is mint state, and any original coin grading choice AU or higher would qualify for the condition census.
