An attractive and elusive rarity with dominate sea-green hues and blooms of crimson color surrounding the devices. The complexion is largely brilliant, with glossed and bold devices set against semi-reflective fields. Smooth and free of notable abrasions beneath a glass, a Mint-made lint-mark at Liberty's nose serves as a convenient pedigree marker. While commonly offered in circulation-strike format, Proofs from the Breen-1 dies are incredibly rare, with just 5-7 known. Most Proofs from this issue were struck by the Breen-2 dies, which features prominent doubling on the T of CENT and the ribbon below. We have not handled a Proof from these dies in recent memory, emphasizing the significance of this offering for advanced specialist in the half cent series.
