Description
This octagonal half dollar piece, dated 1868, is BG-1303 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. NGC census: "\"1868\" OCTAG LIBERTY BG-1303 KROLL HOARD G50C", an octagonal piece from the Kroll hoard with a quoted (not original) date. Catalogue number: BG-1303 (Breen-Gillio). PCGS number 516775.
