The Charlotte mint was the fist branch mint, opened to utilize a local strike of gold, instead of shipping the gold to Philadelphia for coinage. $1, $ 2 ½ and $5 dollar coins were authorized. These coins were regional and highly circulated. Many were lost in bullion shipments for war material, for the 1861-1865 conflict, as well as love tokens and watch fob ornaments. This coin was struck at Charlotte for only one year. Mintage was 9,803 examples.
