Lot 2303
1855 C-1 Breen 1-A R6 (as a proof). PCGS graded Proof 64 Brown. Light olive and golden brown faded down from mint color. Hints of iridescent steel blue toning catch the light on the obverse as this piece is rotated giving it excellent eye appeal. The fields are nicely reflective and the strike is very sharp. No spot or stains. The best identifying marks are traces of an old fingerprint in the field at the coronet tip and a fine struck-through lint mark the meanders between the hair bun and star 9. A beautiful, unquestioned proof strike of this variety and very rare as such. Our grade is Proof-63.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
