Title: First Nouizillet Octagonal 1/4 Dollar
Description: 1854 octagonal ¼ Dol., BG-108, PCGS MS 62, by Antoine Louis Nouizillet, another major issuer of small California gold coins from 1852 to 1858. He is first listed in the San Francisco city directory of Sept. 8, 1852, when he was in partnership with Isodore Routhier in a jewelry business. In the December 1852 directory he is shown as Nouizillet & Co., jewelers, and also by himself, with Routhier listed separately. Another associate during this period was diesinker M. Deriberpie. Of much neater work than that of Frontier & Deviercy, this piece features 11 stars and an abbreviated denomination. However, the reverse shattered quickly. Choice Uncirculated, attractive reddish toning over gold. PCGS MS64 William C. O'Connor (PCGS# 10377).
