Lot Description

Breen Die State V. Originally toned in olive-brown, both sides also exhibit plenty of orange-brown in the fields from faded down mint color. The strike is fairly well centered even though there is scant denticulation at lower right obverse and upper right reverse, and the remaining detail is bold to sharp throughout the design. A few marks are concentrated at Liberty's neck on the obverse, but while these help to justify an EAC EF40 grade, they are minimally distracting to overall pleasant surfaces.
