1872 California Gold Charm 1/4. Octagonal Type III. Musante GW-819, Baker-504A. Gold. MS-64 (NGC).9.5 mm. Exceptionally attractive yellow-gold surfaces are satiny in texture and smooth enough to evoke thoughts of a full Gem grade. This type has a similar obverse design to the popular BG-722 to BG-724 California small denomination gold varieties, but with a pronounced period after the date. Rare.
