Description

1891-CC MS 61. Double Punched CC, Breen-7035. Thought at one time to be an extreme rarity with no more than 4-5 pieces believed to exist. One of the first pieces discovered sold in a Kagin's sale in 1973 for $1,200 when BUs sold in the $250-325 range. A number have been found since then, but the double punched variety is still considerably scarcer than the normal mintmark. Sharply struck with excellent luster and just a few small abrasions scattered about.
