About This Coin
Round gold quarter dollars of Period One in the Breen-Gillio catalogue, dated 1853 to 1856 or undated. Like the eight-sided pieces, they were made by San Francisco jewelers as small change during the Gold Rush. Each page below is one Breen-Gillio number; the undated pieces carry the year that PCGS and NGC attribute to them in parentheses.
