Lot 1930 |
 |
1853 Dollar Octagonal Liberty. Breen and Gillio-531. Rarity 4. PCGS graded MS-62. The mirrorlike surfaces are emphasized well by the delicate golden toning on both sides. Maker: Antoine Louis Nouizillet. Obverse: Similar to BG-530, except that the first star in the grouping on the right is placed far to the left, right above the junction of the hair and coronet. Reverse: Same as BG-530. The only reverse die for an octagonal gold dollar "signed" by Nouizillet (the other two reverses are wreath types with no N "mintmark", linked to Nouizillet because they share an obverse die with BG-531, which does have a "signed" reverse). This die was also used on BG-531. Not a rare variety per se, but in desirable Mint condition. Pop 17; 5 finer in 63 (PCGS # 10508) .
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400.

Lot 1932 |
 |
1855 Dollar Octagonal Liberty. Breen and Gillio-533. Low Rarity 4. NGC graded MS-62. Maker: Nouizillet & Routhier. The variety has the same obverse as BG-531, but polished, resulting in loss of details in front of the hair bun, around Liberty's ear, and around her lower lip. The reverse is stylistically similar to BG-532, the most obvious difference being the change in the date. Linked to Nouizillet because of the obverse die shared with BG-531. This was the only use of this reverse die. Captivating shades of golden-orange and vibrant magenta cover both sides. Lots of pizzazz! Pop 2; none finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400.
