1836 First Restrike Proof Breen 1-A R7. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. CAC Approved. Reverse of 1836. Slightly faded mint red with blue steel toning on the highpoints, 75% of the red remaining. The fields are highly reflective with deep mirrors on both sides. Outstanding eye appeal. The only defects are a small spot of darker steel toning close under the bust tip, and this spot contains a faint pin scratch. The obverse is plated in the Breen encyclopedia on page 369 to illustrate the First Restrike. These restrikes were struck using the original dies and they are often quite difficult to differentiate from the originals. Both dies were gently repolished for the restrikes, and the obverse is beginning to bulge outward slightly in the center while the rims are more squared. Weight 82.6 grains. Our grade is Proof-64+. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; none finer. (PCGS # 35316) .
Estimated Value $17,500-UP.

1836 Second Restrike Proof Breen 1-C R7. PCGS graded Proof 66 Red & Brown. Reverse of 1840. Beautiful slightly faded mint red mellowing to light bluish steel. The fields are deeply mirrored and the eye appeal is magnificent. The best identifying marks, and they are trivial, are a tiny speck of carbon below the E in CENT and a light carbon spot on the rim at ER in AMERICA. A knife rim shows on the reverse from K-12 clockwise to K-7, a characteristic of Breen's Series VI of proof restrikes. This piece is a visual treat, a "WOW" coin in a superior collection. Our grade is Proof-66. The obverse is plated on page 370 in the Breen encyclopedia to illustrate the Second Restrike variety and it is listed in his census on that page. Weight 78.0 grains. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; tied for finest. Comes with a long, distinguished provenance. (PCGS # 1211) .
Estimated Value $60,000-UP.

1837 Half Cent Token Low-49, Rulau HT-73. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. CAC Approved. Glossy chocolate brown. The only mark is a very tiny rim nick at the N in STANDARD. Otherwise this piece is choice. Sharply struck EDS with slightly prooflike fields, especially on the obverse. Excellent eye appeal. Certainly one of the finest of a variety that often comes in grades close to uncirculated but is seldom seen meeting a true mint state standard. It's the best we have seen. Our grade is MS63. These are frequently collected with the regular Federal Half Cent series since no half cents were issued in 1837. Listed on page 95 in the "Redbook." Weight 81.0 grains. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest graded. (PCGS # 517429) .
Estimated Value $1,250-UP.
