Today, there are three collectible examples of the 1849 Cincinnati Mining & Trading $10, all of which grade AU. One of these is struck over a J.S. Ormsby $10, suggesting that Cincinnati Mining & Trading (or someone with their dies) was actively striking coins after J.S. Ormsby. Two examples are permanently impounded at the Smithsonian, including a choice BU specimen that was removed from a bullion deposit in 1849 or 1850. The Dupont specimen — stolen in 1967 — was at one time called plain edge but the earliest description of the piece (H. Chapman: 06/18/1908: 506a) describes it clearly as “border milled”, suggesting that the Kagin-2 variety probably does not exist.
