Lot Description

1872 Round 25 Cents. BG-818, Musante GW-821. Rarity-4-. Washington Head. MS-65 (PCGS). A lovely Gem example with soft wheat-gold patina to smooth, frosty surfaces. While not the rarest type in the California small denomination gold series, BG-818 is one of the most popular due to the Washington portrait design. Premium quality survivors such as this are scarce from a condition standpoint, however, which fact further highlights the significance of this offering for the advanced collector. PCGS Population: 27; 8 finer (all MS-66). PCGS# 10679. NGC ID: 2BT9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
