Lot Description

1875 Octagonal 25 Cents. BG-796. Rarity-5. Indian Head. MS-65 PL (PCGS). Plain edge. An intensely prooflike specimen that truly deserves the Gem ranking. Deeply mirrored fields surround heavily frosted motifs with spectacular cameo contrast the end result. Hand-engraved date numerals rather than from a punch logotype. A satisfying Gem at every turn from the hand of Christoph Ferdinand Mohrig, active in San Francisco circa 1872 to 1876. Choice and appealing. PCGS# 906783.
