1854 Liberty Octagonal Dollar, AU58
BG-529, One of Five Known

1854 $1 Liberty Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-529, R.8, AU58 NGC. The very rare BG-529 was unknown prior to its September 1980 discovery by Jay Rowe. We know of only four other examples: the AU58+ PCGS piece depicted at PCGS Coin Facts, the AU50 PCGS example from Bowers and Merena's Jay Roe auction, an AU Details Damaged PCGS Genuine example from the Stack's Bowers August 2019 ANA, and a mystery MS61 NGC specimen. The present coin displays light orange-red toning save for a blush of rich plum-red near the C in CALIFORNIA. A die crack journeys from the first star to Liberty's neck. No contact is of any consequence. Census: 1 in 58, 1 finer (2/22).

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2BLU, PCGS# 10506, Greysheet# 11206)
