Description
The 1852 octagonal gold half dollar BG-962A is a California fractional gold piece of Breen and Gillio's second period with an Indian head obverse. Breen and Gillio's second period (1858 to 1882 in their second edition, 1859 to 1882 in the first) holds the pieces jewelers made mostly as souvenirs and charms; the act of June 8, 1864 made private coinage unlawful, and Secret Service seizures had ended the trade by 1883. CoinWeek notes that the 1852-dated Indian head pieces were probably made in the 1870s, along with other Indian head issues. Catalogue number: BG-962A. PCGS number 133732.
