1854 Octagonal Liberty Dollar, MS63
BG-506, Single Finest Certified

1854 $1 Liberty Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-506, R.7, MS63 NGC. The FD initials on the reverse exergue designate the maker as Frontier, Deviercy & Co. BG-506 is a very rare Period One variety. Heritage has not auctioned an example since January 2002. No Mint State pieces have appeared at auction since the Jay Roe Collection was offered in September 2003. NGC has certified only a single example, the present lot. PCGS has not certified any pieces above MS62, which makes this coin the finest certified by a leading service. In fact, PCGS and NGC combined have certified only eight examples of this rare dollar in all grades. The almond-gold fields are slightly subdued and devoid of distractions. The strike is even, though the date and several letters are faint, as they were entered lightly into the reverse die. This outstanding Select Uncirculated BG-506 is sure to highlight a fine collection of Period One (1852-1857) octagonal dollars.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2BL3, PCGS# 10483, Greysheet# 11198)
