1873/2 G25C BG-792 MS64 认证号16659333, PCGS号10619

Per Heritage 8/13/10 ANA Boston: 1873/2 25C Indian Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-792, Low R.7, MS64 PCGS. Breen and Gillio (2003) write: "This is a rare instance of a die actually used, then annealed, altered in date, and rehardened for later use (compare 432); this obverse probably lasted only an hour or two afterward." The dies would quickly shatter, and the obverse of this piece shows a number of die cracks. An appealing medium yellow example with deeply mirrored fields. (#10619)
