Lot Description

1871 Octagonal 50 Cents. BG-927. Rarity-5-. Die State II. Liberty Head. MS-65 (NGC). This remarkable condition rarity is the single finest-certified example of BG-927 known to the major certification services, and by a wide margin. Smooth, satiny surfaces possess lovely color in an olive-orange hue. The strike is suitably bold for the type, and the eye appeal is nothing short of strong. Important coin!
