1873 Round 25 Cents. BG-874. Rarity-6-. Indian Head. MS-66 PL (NGC).

Exceptional quality for this elusive variety, this premium Gem is finer than the Jay Roe specimen (PCGS MS-64) that we (Bowers and Merena) auctioned in September 2003. Bright golden-yellow surfaces are sharply struck and offer strong cameo contrast between reflective fields and frosty design elements. BG-874 was discovered by David or Susan Doering, ca. 1868 to 1980, and first published by them in their reference California Fractional Gold (1980).

PCGS# 10735. NGC ID: 2BV7.

NGC Census: 2; 0 finer in any category. There are no PL examples certified at PCGS.
