California Fractional Gold
1872 25C Washington Round 25 Cents, BG-818, Low R.4, MS66 NGC. BG-818 is the sole round quarter Washington head variety, and as a California small denomination gold type coin, it is subject to strong collector demand. The present Premium Gem ranks among the finest certified and is noteworthy for its pristine, flashy fields. The strike is good, although the central reverse is incompletely brought up, as always for BG-818. Listed on page 408 of the 2017 Guide Book. Census: 2 in 66, 3 finer (10/16).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2011), lot 5270.
