Lot 127
1848 Proof Original Breen 1-A R6. Sharper but lightly cleaned and retoning bluish steel brown and chocolate. There are some notable contact marks, including a few hairline scratches at stars 2-10 and several light rim nicks on both sides. A tiny rim bruise at the A in STATES is the only notable mark on the reverse. The fields are reflective, especially the reverse where the mirrors are relatively deep. An acceptable example of this rare proof-only variety, and a proper retoning could improve the eye appeal considerably. Weight 81.9 grains.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
Ex: Jack Beymer 5/9/94.
