1853 Half Dollar Round. Breen and Gillio-435 Arms of Calif. PCGS graded MS-63. Lightly toned with semi reflective surfaces. A very popular type coin. This is the famous Arms of California type: helmeted female, draped and cloaked, bearing a spear and shield; grizzly bear at her feet (concealing part of a shield); mountains behind, all within a plain circle. Around, 13 minute elongated stars, with date below. The reverse eagle has a scroll in its beak, shield in one talon, and a huge branch in the other, attempting either to alight on or rise from a mountaintop, all within a plain circle. CALIFORNIA GOLD HALF DOLLAR around. For type collectors, the Arms of California issue is the key piece in the series since neither the arms nor this eagle occur on any other die. The lettering, numerals, and stars resemble no other variety in the series. Technically much rarer than its Rarity-5+ listing infers, as demand for the type far exceeds the known offerings of the variety: Pop 18; 11 finer; 7 in 64; 3 in 65; 1 in 66. (PCGS # 10471) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.

1854 Half Dollar Round Liberty. Breen and Gillio-436. Rarity 6. NGC graded MS-62. An attractive example of this "eagle without scroll" variety. Both sides display golden hues with a touch of russet and an inkling of magenta. The obverse exhibits a trace of bluish-lavender shades and shows a generous amount of luster. Struck by an Unknown Maker referred to as "B" (possibly Auguste Dubois).
Obverse: Small federal-style head of Liberty to left, 13 six-pointed stars around, star 1 horizontally opposite point of bust, point of coronet between stars 5 and 6, double line at top of coronet, star 8 opposite upper hair bun, star 9 opposite lower bun, lowest curl points to star 11.
Reverse: Central eagle motif, wings raised, olive branch in left talons, shield in right talons, no scroll in beak, HALF to left, DOL. Above, date to right. All letters and numerals nicely formed and nicely spaced. Pop 1; 1 finer in 63.

N/D (1853) Dollar Octagonal Liberty. Breen and Gillio-501. Low Rarity 5. PCGS graded MS-61. Large head, 13 stars; large eagle with branch, shield, arrows, and scroll, copying that on the Humbert fifties, CALIFORNIA GOLD. above, ONE DOL. below. Struck after the next BG-502 & 503, the obverse die polished. Edge reeding on all these is crude and irregular, probably made by file, to keep weight down to Frontier's standard. That accounts for the adjustment marks seen on some specimens of this and other F&D varieties. This obverse reappears on BG 513, the 1 DOLLARD pattern for G.L.
A lovely example of this popular "eagle with scroll" variety. Mostly untoned with nice lustrous surfaces. Quite attractive. Pop 2; 10 finer, 4 in 62, 5 in 63, 1 in 64 (PCGS # 10478) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
