Lot Description

Breen Die State IV. Hard and frosty surfaces with nice gloss, good centering and an overall sharp strike further enhance the appeal of this handsome survivor from the Sheldon-258 dies. Both sides are predominantly autumn-orange brown, but with ample intermingling of olive-copper and, on the reverse, glints of reddish-rose. Otherwise impressively smooth, a short scratch and line of tiny nicks close in to the right obverse border require magnification to fully discern and are mentioned here solely as identifiers for provenance purposes. Solid Choice EF EAC quality and sure to see spirited bidding.
