- 1874 Octagonal $1. BG-1110. Rarity-7+. Liberty Head. MS-63+ (PCGS). A highlight of the Oregon Collection, this beautiful Choice example exhibits reflective fields supporting satiny, smartly impressed design elements. Handsome olive-orange color throughout, attractively original in all regards. This variety was manufactured by Herman J. Brand in San Francisco from one of Robert B. Gray & Co.'s Small Liberty Head dies, the portrait close to that of the United States Mint's circulating Type I gold dollars. Only a tiny number of BG-1110 dollars can be accounted for today; the second edition of the Breen-Gillio reference lists just seven pieces in Bob Leonard's census, with the usual note that the list "includes some duplication." The Jay Roe cataloger (2003) accounted for just six or seven pieces, while PCGS CoinFactsis more conservative with an estimate of five or six known. Rare by any measure, and represented here by the finest PCGS-certified survivor that is also likely CC#1 for the BG-1110 dies. Significantly, the Jay Roe specimen was an AU with filed rims, likely a former jewelry piece. Although known as early as 1922, this variety remained unpublished until 1957, when it appeared as lot 5186 in New Netherland's house publication Numisma. Provenance: From the Oregon Collection.
