Lot 122
1841 Proof Original Breen 1-A R6. Proof 45. Glossy chocolate brown blending to darker chocolate toning at the bottom of the obverse. The surfaces are smooth and attractive, but this piece endured a limited time in circulation. The notable mark is a small spot of very fine carbon in the dentils under the end of the wreath ribbon. Great eye appeal. The usual die state with a fine crack through stars 3-6 to the dentils over star 7. Removed from a PCGS slab graded Proof-58 (PCGS label included, and it mentions the Original strike status of this piece). Weight 84.5 grains.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
Ex Jim McGuigan 10/05.
