1853 Round 25 Cents. BG-209. Rarity-7-. Liberty Head. AU-58 (NGC).，This is a lovely example with warm honey-gold patina on lustrous satin to modestly semi-reflective surfaces. Uniformly sharp in strike, both sides are very nice for the assigned grade with a pleasingly original appearance. Breen-Gillio 209 is a major rarity in the California small denomination gold series. With two examples discovered with the treasure of the <em>S.S. Winfield Scott</em> shipwreck, it is a variety that saw actual circulation during the Gold Rush era. Interestingly, those two coins represent 20 to 25% of the extant population of the variety, which is believed to number just eight to 10 coins. A superior example for both the type and the assigned grade, the present offering clearly represents an important bidding opportunity for the specialist.，PCGS# 10394.，，
