Lot 219
(1785) Bar Cent Breen-1145 W-8520 Rarity-4 PCGS graded XF45. Very attractive glossy medium brown blending to light chocolate in the fields and protected areas. Smooth and nearly flawless showing only very light wear on the highpoints. The only marks are a shallow planchet flake in the field near the dentils left of the U (USA) and another nestled in the field between the upper halves of the S & A. Sharply struck slightly off center to K-4.5, as usual, affecting some dentils but none of the legends. A very nice example of this popular colonial issue that was circulating in New York circa 1785. The Heard provenance is noted on the PCGS label. Listed on page 76 in the "Redbook." Estimate Value $6,000 - UP
