Lot Description

1870 Round $1. BG-1205. Rarity-4+. Liberty Head. MS-64 PL (NGC). This splendid "Goofy Head" example is possessed of bright olive-khaki color and a uniformly prooflike finish. With a sharp strike and minimally abraded surfaces to boot, it should come as no surprise to read that this coin ranks as the single finest-certified example of the BG-1205 type.
