Lot 125
1846 Second Restrike Breen 1-C R6. Proof 60. Light to medium brown with chocolate toning on the highpoints and slightly faded mint color in protected areas, especially on the reverse where nearly half the surface retains some mint color. A splash of darker chocolate toning on the face and in the field over the head are a distraction from this otherwise very attractive example. The reverse is choice. The only mark is a mint-made planchet void on the edge under the end of the wreath ribbon. The fields are nicely reflective but the mirrors are not very deep. Weight 97.8 grains.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
Ex Tony Terranova 5/2008.
