The enigmatic later issues of

Templeton Reid were probably

made from California

gold. Reid, who never went to

California, was then a cottongin

where he died in 1851.

The coins were in denominations

of ten and twenty-five

dollars. Struck copies of both

exist in various metals. The only example known of the twenty-five-dollar piece was

stolen from the cabinet of the U.S. Mint on August 16, 1858. It was never recovered.
