Artist biography: Robert Duncan grew up in Salt Lake City as one of ten children, summering in Wyoming at his grandparents ranch. It was here that he developed his love for the landscape of the American West. He studied art at the University of Utah and worked as a commercial artist before his full-time dedication to the fine art of the American West. Duncan was elected into the Cowboy Artists of America at 29 and won silver medals in their annual Phoenix exhibition. Duncan later resigned from the Cowboy Artists to devote more time to painting subjects other than the West. (Source: the artist's website).

1849 MORMON $5 GOLD COIN PCGS AU DETAIL1849 MORMON $5 GOLD COIN PCGS AU DETAIL GEN. N98One 1849 gold $5 Mormon coin issued by the Deseret Assay Office under the authority of the Mormon Church in Utah. The obverse depicts two hands clasped together above the date and surrounded by "G.S.L.C.P.G. FIVE. DOLLARS." The reverse with the all-seeing eye surrounded by "HOLINESS. TO. THE. LORD." Graded by PCGS as N98 with AU detail and genuine but not gradable due to a repair along the edge.
Though the abbreviation of "G.S.L.C.P.G." along the obverse stands for "Great Salt Lake City Pure Gold" the gold actually came from California, not Utah. It was the usage of this unrefined California gold dust, which contained some native silver alloy, that caused a 1850 assay of the coins to find them underweight. Due to this, many were likely melted down or, if they were circulated at all, they were taken at a discount. It is estimated that between 1848-1851 there were approximately 5,340 Mormon $5 gold coins struck based on an extrapolation of a 1950 figure of $75,000 for gold issues struck between this time.
