Description
1853 Liberty Octagonal Half, AU58
Rare BG-303 'Peacock' Variety
1853 50C Peacock Reverse 50 Cents, BG-303, Low R.7, AU58
PCGS. Frontier, Deviercy & Co. struck two varieties of
"Peacock" octagonal halves. The scarce BG-302 has the FD initials
below the hairbun, and the rare BG-303 places the FD above the
date. Fractional gold collectors are aware that the bird is
actually an eagle adorned with glory rays, but the iconic type
nonetheless commands a lofty premium. This example is graded AU58
by PCGS, but although the high point strike is incomplete, no wear
is apparent and the apricot-gold fields are radiant and
unblemished. Population: 1 in 58, 3 finer (3/18).From The David Sunshine Collection.
