Title: Choice Uncirculated
Description: “1852” (i.e. 1853) D. N. round Half Dol., BG-407, Die State I. PCGS MS63. Mr. M. Deriberpie is listed as an engraver in J.M. Parker’s San Francisco Directory for 1852-53, published December 1852, his only appearance in the city directories. His address is given as 58 Kearny St., the same building as manufacturing jeweler Antoine Louis Nouizillet. (Originally the name was de Riberpe, after a place in France; Regiment de Riberpe is mentioned in 1659.) The D.N. series must represent a partnership between Deriberpie and Nouizillet not noted in the city directories, or subsumed under “Nouizillet & Co.” However, their use of Joseph Brothers’ dies and hubs suggests that perhaps they were made for them by Joseph Brothers—or was it the other way around? Obverse almost identical to BG-401, but D . N . below head; same reverse die as BG-401, rusted. Frosty Choice Brilliant Uncirculated, patches of light toning. PCGS MS63 William C. O’Connor (PCGS# 10443). PCGS POP 18 + 3.
