Description

1872 Octagonal 25 Cents. BG-723, Musante-817, Baker-503A. Rarity-6-. Washington Head. MS-62 (NGC).
Visually engaging surfaces deliver both vivid medium gold color and satin to semi-reflective luster. The Washington Head varieties by Frontier & Bellemere, circa 1871 to 1875, are easily among the most eagerly sought of all the California Small Denomination gold issues. BG-723 is a scarce variety that will challenge specialists. Indeed, this is our first offering for the type since 2014, the present piece with superior eye appeal for the grade.
PCGS# 10550. NGC ID: 2BN5.
NGC Census: 2; 3 finer (MS-66 finest).

Estimate: $2500
