Lot 1981
1806. Pointed 6, Stars 8 X 5. Miller-77, Breen obverse 1, Rarity-7. . M-77. Sharpness of EF-40 but there are obverse scratches. This is the obverse for Breen-1, and the reverse was not listed in his monograph. A few others were offered in the recent Bass Sales. In particular, the obverse has several long scratches outlining Liberty with a few more in the fields, a scrape on the 8, and a few more handling marks than one would expect on the obverse than the grade usually warrants. The reverse is nicer, and we note a die crack through the tops of UNITED ST, and middle of MER. Identifiable by a small rim mark above the eighth star. A rare issue that should still be considered as this variety is seldom offered.
Estimated Value $1,750-UP.
From the Robert W. Miller, Sr., collection.
