California Fractional Gold
1871 50C Liberty Octagonal 50 Cents, BG-912, R.3, MS66 Prooflike NGC. BG-912 is seen with Prooflike surfaces a little less than 50% of the time, if the NGC Census is an accurate reflection. That figure may be skewed by duplications one way or the other. One thing is certain: Examples are extremely rare at this level. Lemon-gold surfaces are pristine, razor-sharp, with marked field-device contrast. Census: 3 in 66 Prooflike, 1 finer (6/17).
