Description du lot

1880 Octagonal 50 Cents. BG-955. Rarity-6. Indian Head. MS-64 (NGC). Modestly reflective surfaces shines forth nicely from attractively original, golden-honey surfaces. Sharply defined in most areas with the reverse rotated a full 90 degrees counterclockwise from coin alignment. The usual die state with CAL nearly gone from die lapping. The BG-955 is an elusive variety first discovered by Kenneth W. Lee circa 1950 to 1955, and since maintaining its rarity rating with dignity. It was rated Rarity-6+ in the Texas Collection (early 1990s), a rating that has barely changed in three decades. A coin that will surely see spirited bidding at auction. NGC Census: 1; 1 finer in this category (MS-65). PCGS# 10813. NGC ID: 2BXS. Click here for certification details from NGC.
