Lot Description

Breen Die State III. Glossy olive-brown surfaces retain plenty of bold to sharp detail throughout the design. There is a minor edge bruise on the obverse, at the letters LI in LIBERTY, but otherwise we see no marks or other blemishes of note. A wholesome example of this Sheldon number, graded EAC VF20, net F15, and tied for CC#12 in the Noyes census. Sure to catch the eye of early copper specialists.
