1871-H Round 50 Cents. BG-1046. Rarity-7-. Liberty Head. MS-64 (PCGS).

An incredibly rare jewel from the California Fractional Gold series with perhaps as few as 10 distinct examples known. In fact, this the first BG-1046 that we have offered in recent memory and it ranks among the very finest survivors known. Intense reflectivity shimmers in the fields and frames the sharp and frosty devices on each side. Pale khaki-gold in color with subtle powder-blue accents visible in certain lighting. It is tied with just two other coins at PCGS and only one ranked finer at MS-65.

PCGS# 10875. NGC ID: 2BZV.
