Lot Description

Breen Die State II. Deep, rich olive-copper and steel-brown patina to surfaces that present as uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade. Marks are small and singularly inconspicuous to the unaided eye, a faint verdigris spot in the right obverse field mentioned solely for accuracy. A bit lightly struck in the centers, but suitably bold at the Fine level. This transitional issue is among the scarcest and most eagerly sought in the classic Liberty Cap cent series of 1793 to 1796.
