Lot 3509
Undated (1853-1854) Octagonal Dollar. Liberty Head / "Humbert" Reverse. BG-501, Low Rarity-5. PCGS graded AU-58. A neat-looking, miniature version of the $50 "Slug" reverse. Lovely, green-gold surfaces, with hints of coppery toning on both sides. The Rarity Rating for this variety is a trifle deceptive, as it suggests a decent-sized population of survivors. That may be the case, but virtually every example is locked up in a collection somewhere, thus finding an example of this variety is always much tougher than it should be. This example is a full three points finer than the colorful AU-55 from the Jay Roe collection! Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000
