Lot Description

1860 Octagonal $1. BG-1102. Rarity-4. Liberty Head. MS-65 (PCGS). Warm golden-honey patina dominates the appearance on the obverse, direct lighting calling forth more vivid straw-gold and powder blue undertones. The reverse is awash in intense rose-orange iridescence with intermingled highlights of powder blue. Both sides are brightly lustrous with a sharp strike and smooth satin to semi-reflective finish. Far superior quality for this otherwise only marginally scarce variety, the Jay Roe specimen was certified MS-62 by PCGS at the time of our (Bowers and Merena's) September 2003 sale, where it was offered as lot 546. PCGS Population: 6; 4 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 10913. NGC ID: 2C2Z. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
