1856 Breen 1-C Rarity-4 Doubled T in CENT (Proof-Only). PCGS graded Proof 65 Brown. Attractive dark bluish steel and chocolate delicately mixed with specks of slightly lighter brown toning on the obverse. No spots, stains, or contact marks, only faint hairlines in the fields on both sides. The fields are nicely reflective with moderately deep mirrors and the eye appeal is excellent. Sharply struck on a flawless planchet. A premium example of this proof-only variety. The doubled T in CENT feature is clear (actually this is a doubled die and most of CENT shows strong doubling). Our grade is Proof-64. Pop 4; none finer at PCGS.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
