Losbeschreibung

Undated (1853-1854) Octagonal $1. BG-501. Rarity-5-. Liberty Head. VF-25 (PCGS). Olive-gold toning on the high points deepens to vivid navy blue and crimson in the fields. This piece bears mute testimony to the fact that small denomination gold coins actually served in the channels of commerce during the early years following the discovery of gold in California
