Auction 438 | Lot 2860 » Territorial and Fractional Gold » California Fractional Gold

1853 50C Peacock Reverse 50 Cents, BG-302, Low R.4, AU58 PCGS. The Peacock reverse is one of the most famous fractional gold designs, since it stands out from the usual parade of wreaths that simulate the Federal gold dollar. The devices show scant evidence of wear, although the fields are slightly subdued. The obverse is rich ruby-red with hints of yellow-gold. The reverse is straw-gold.

Lower relief portions of Liberty's hair are absent, as made from a lapped die. The initials FD represent Frontier, Deviercy & Co., a Period One maker best known for the popular Peacock reverses.
