Lot Description

Rare 1872 BG-1206 Round Gold Dollar The Finest Known The Only "PL" Example 1872 Round $1. BG-1206. Rarity-6+. Indian Head. MS-63 PL (PCGS). An important example of this rare variety that we have not offered since our June 2004 auction over 15 years ago. This piece is bright lemon-yellow in color with remarkably sharp devices for the type. A few light lines are noted in the fields but there are no individually distracting blemishes to note. The watery and reflective fields impart a considerable prooflike contrast, making this piece a true joy to examine in-hand. It is one of the very finest examples known and is the only example with the PL designation at PCGS or NGC. PCGS Population: 1; none finer. This is the only example designated PL by PCGS or NGC. PCGS# 810702. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
