Description

This round quarter dollar piece, dated 1855, is BG-1302 in the Breen-Gillio catalogue: a later copy linked to the Kroll hoard, 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. Locke (2013) lists BG-1302 as a Kroll copy of the round quarter BG-226. NGC census: "\"1855\" ROUND LIBERTY BG-1302 KROLL HOARD G25C". Catalogue number: BG-1302 (Breen-Gillio). PCGS number 516774.
