California Fractional Gold
1872 25C Washington Round 25 Cents, BG-818, Baker-A504, Musante GW-821, Low R.4, MS64 PCGS. This interesting fractional gold piece is the only round type of any denomination featuring a portrait of Washington. The most recent edition of Musante's reference on Medallic Washington lists the issue as rare, rather than very scarce. This is a typically defined yellow-gold example with slight field-device contrast on the obverse. Struck from rotated dies.
