Lot 229
(1795) Washington Liberty & Security Penny Breen-1254 PCGS graded VF30. Variety with the usual ASYLUM edge. Rather glossy dark olive brown and steel with frosty golden tan in protected areas on both sides. Apparently this is one of the few gilt examples mentioned by Breen, and it saw some circulation. There is a tiny diagonal nick high on the cheek and a few light contact marks in the field before the portrait, none significant. The Heard provenance is noted on the PCGS label. Listed on page 86 in the "Redbook." Estimate Value $750 - UP
Ex Heritage 12/1/2012:7165-Gene Heard Collection (lot ticket included).
