Lot 3511
1854 Round Dollar. Liberty Head. BG-605, Rarity-7. PCGS graded AU-50. Semi-Prooflike, with plenty of pale golden luster still remaining on either side. At arm's length, this piece looks just like a Federally issued Gold Dollar, which was one of the reasons the makers of California gold pieces ran afoul of the law. The reverse is rotated approximately 25 degrees in a counter-clockwise direction. Finding this rarity in any grade is a real chore -- even Jay Roe's coin (the nicest he could find in decades of collecting) was only AU-55! Housed in an older-generation, green-label. This is the third finest of the BG-605's certified by PCGS (the finest is only AU-58). Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000
