1854 Same obverse die; similar reverse, long dash follows date. Another Frontier Deviercy issue. Extremely Rare; 10 examples (including possible duplication) recorded in Breen-Gillio, one of which is holed, none reported since, though this appears to be an unlisted new discovery, purchased by Jack Totheroh already certified by PCGS. Brilliant Uncirculated, patches of reddish toning, somewhat weakly struck; cracks in outer cladding both sides, notably on reverse. PCGS MS62. This is another weakly struck coin, difficult to grade. The Roe specimen is MS63. PCGS only recorded four sales events of BG-404, which includes multiple sales of the same coin. This coin is much nicer in appearance than the apparent grade.
