1876 Octagonal 50 Cents. BG-932A. Rarity-7+. "Baby" Liberty Head. EF Details--Ex Jewelry (PCGS).This rare variety was discovered by Harry Bass in 1972, the discovery specimen appearing in our (Bowers and Merenas) Bass I sale of May 1999 and, later, in our (Bowers and Merenas) September 2003 sale of the Jay Roe Collection. Only a few other examples have come to light in more recent years, including the present specimen, which was discovered unattributed in a decade-old holding by one of our senior numismatists (JP) in October 2022. We believe that it is only the fourth specimen known for BG-932A, making this a significant offering for specialists in California fractional gold.PCGS# 10828.
