1855 Round 25 Cents. BG-225. Rarity-7-. Liberty Head. MS-62 (NGC).Bright satin surfaces sport even color in warm olive-orange. Detail is bold to sharp throughout, the surfaces with scattered marks commensurate with the assigned grade. This issue, attributed to Antoine Louis Nouizillet, has an extant population of only 10 to 12 specimens per <em>PCGS CoinFacts</em>. The Bob Leonard census published in 2003 includes 12 listings, with his familiar comment about duplication. Interestingly, Jay Roe owned three different examples of this issue, finally settling on the PCGS MS-61 coin featured as lot 40 in our (Bowers and Merenas) sale of that important collection. The coin offered here is graded higher and holds tremendous appeal for advanced specialists in this series.PCGS# 10410. NGC ID: 2BHX.
