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.
