Lot 123
1844 Proof Original Breen 1-A R6. Proof 45. Slightly sharper but there are a few contact marks, including a minor rim bruise left of star 6. Medium chocolate brown with hints of light bluish steel overtone on the reverse. The fields retain some of their reflectivity, but the mirrors are quite shallow. Removed from an NGC slab graded Proof About Uncirculated-58 Brown (seems like an impossible mixing of business and proof strike terms to me). The NGC label is included, and it mentions the Original strike status of this piece. Weight 82.3 grains.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
Ex Jim McGuigan 3/95.
