See Lot 435 — major variety unlisted in Breen-Gillio. Prooflike Select Brilliant Uncirculated, yellow gold with light orange toning. PCGS MS62. This and the first BG-1126 represent an unlisted variety, discovered by Istvan, an "inverted reverse" aka "medal turn." . Serial# 9447349 Bergen-Istvan Collection HKA#63866
This coin was one of Mr. Bergen's discoveries. It is a "coin turn", normal reverse. Lot 437 is a "Medal turn" reverse, hence inverted reverse. This pairing of differing reverses is mentioned for the round versions of this coin in Breen-Gillio, and the differing octagonal coins are noted here for the first time.
