1854 C-1 Breen 1-B (with lump on I in UNITED) R6- (as a proof). PCGS graded Proof 66 Brown. Double Struck Reverse. Attractive electric blue and iridescent rose with hints of sea-green overtone. The fields are highly reflective with deep mirrors. A gem example except for a speck of carbon on the right top of the 8 and a narrow planchet void on the rim at the E in UNITED, as struck. The planchet is thin (weight 68.8 grains) causing the dentils to be weakly struck on the lower part of the obverse and top of the reverse. In addition, both sides were double struck creating a double set of dentils. The doubling is visible in the dentils at stars 2-4 and more obvious in the dentils on the upper two-thirds of the reverse. The offset between impressions is small but too wide to be classified as a chatter strike. EDS, Breen state I, Manley 2.0. A very attractive example and an extremely rare proof error. Our grade is Proof-64. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest graded for the variety.

1852 Second Restrike Proof Breen 1-C R7. PCGS graded Proof 65 Brown. CAC. Reverse of 1840. Golden light brown with blue steel toning in protected areas. The fields are deeply mirrored on the obverse while the reverse fields are slightly less reflective and covered with fresh die polishing lines running NE-SW. There are tiny, faint splashes of reddish brown toning in the field above star 12, a tiny hairline scratch down the cheek, and a C-shaped struck-through line under the E in CENT. A sharp knife edge shows from star 5 clockwise to star 13, a characteristic of these second restrike proofs. This is the third example listed in the Breen/Hanson condition census for the extremely rare Second Restrike variety (encyclopedia, page 442). Our grade is Proof-62+. Weight 97.6 grains, consistent with Breen's Series V Restrikes and probably struck at the same time as the Series V strikes dated 1840-1848. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only example graded. (PCGS # 35405) Estimate Value $10,000 - UP Ex Robert H.
