- One of the most popular types from the extensive California "Fractional" series, the BG-302 is the "Peacock" issue, so named from the spray of rays above the eagle's head, it looks like a peacock with its tail feathers in full display. It is the ONLY time this reverse die was utilized. Somewhat scarce, perhaps 150-200 examples are known. Richly toned on both sides with rose, violet, icy blue colors come out when the lustrous, nearly prooflike surfaces are viewed in a light. This near-GEM example has a bold, beautiful look and the eye appeal cannot be beat! PCGS 13, NGC 4. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $4,700 in the 2016 FUN auction, a sale that was held during a market downturn. Prior to that, the last PCGS MS64 sold n the 2008 FUN auction, realizing $6,325. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $6,000 and there are only 3 coins finer at PCGS. A great coin for a "Cal Frac" type set or an addition to your territorial collection. Cert. Number 25279524 PCGS # 10422
