Lot Description

1853-DERI Octagonal $1. BG-524. Rarity-6+. Liberty Head. MS-62 (NGC). Semi-reflective, honey-gold surfaces are sharply struck throughout the design. Far superior than the Breen-Gillio plate coin, which is the Jay Roe specimen that was graded Net VF-30 in our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of that landmark collection in September 2003. An exciting opportunity for the California small denomination gold specialist to acquire a high quality example of this elusive and challenging variety. NGC Census: 2; 0 finer at this service. PCGS# 10501. NGC ID: 2BLN. Click here for certification details from NGC.
