Description
This half dollar piece, dated 1854, is BG-1304A in the Breen-Gillio catalogue: a restrike of a later copy, not a California piece of the 1852-1882 period. Herman Kroll made copies of California fractional gold around 1906, apparently with some of the original tooling (Locke 2013); PCGS (search) places him in New York. A restrike of the Kroll copy BG-1304 with a different obverse (Locke 2013). Catalogue number: BG-1304A (Breen-Gillio). PCGS number 516781.
