<B>1870 25C Liberty Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-758, R.8, MS64 PCGS.</B></I> This is the only example of this very rare variety to ever cross the auction block at Heritage. Only five pieces are reflected in the PCGS <I>Population Report</B></I>, with none documented by NGC. Of the five PCGS examples, three are circulated and the current piece is the finest graded (3/08). For those collectors in pursuit of a high-end set of fractional gold pieces, the present coin could very well represent a once in a lifetime opportunity. This is a splendid, deeply prooflike example that has frosted devices which provide strong cameo contrast. A bit weakly struck. The reverse shows a distinguishing arc that appears to be some sort of striking imperfection which will easily identify this piece in the future.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
