The Templeton Reid (Georgia) series of Pioneer & Territorial Gold in the U.S. Coins contains 2 distinct entries.
The first private gold coinage in the 19th century was struck by Templeton Reid,
a jeweler and gunsmith, in Milledgeville, Georgia, in July 1830. To be closer to
the mines, he moved to Gainesville, where most of his coins were made. Although
weights were accurate, Reid's assays were not and his coins were slightly short of
claimed value. He was severely attacked in the newspapers and soon lost the public's
confidence. He closed his mint before the end of October in 1830; his output had
amounted to only about 1,600 coins. Denominations struck were $2.50, $5, and $10.
