Small Head variety 1852 Wass Molitor $5 gold coin, with a counterstamp advertising Sacramento dentist W.W. Light
The coins arose out of necessity and were created to fill a void that government would not fill. Until they intervened, these issues flourished; once the government entered the market, they were made illegal.
