California Fractional Gold
1868 50C Indian Octagonal 50 Cents, BG-960A, High R.6, MS64 PCGS. BG-960A is the late die state variant of BG-960, showing CAL on the reverse mostly effaced by die lapping. PCGS has certified only eight BG-960A examples, and NGC two (8/17). This near-Gem representative is well-struck and deeply reflective. Original olive-gold surfaces show hints of warmer peach color and are free of distractions. Labeled BG-960 on the PCGS insert, although the lapped reverse confirms our BG-960A attribution. Population: 2 in 64, 3 finer (8/17).
