<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1209040, member: 66"]The last piece on Cheetah Cats list, the Breen 1224 should be dropped from the list. It has a different reverse die with Liverpool Halfpenny and a ship on it. I was sloppy in my D&H references and I missed the 1050b the Breen -1218. That one wasn't listed in D&H when it was published and didn't show up until an addendum in the 1990 edition. I question the Brass listing. It is identical to the Breen-1217 and I am loath to award a different listing based on the color of the metal unless there is an elemental analysis that proves the different composition. A cleaned and retoning copper piece can look a lot like a toning brass piece</p><p><br /></p><p>1,500 known may be a little high. D&H lists it as Scarce which would be around R-4 on the Sheldon rarity scale or 76 - 200 estimated. Iwould say it is at the high end and has some claims to R-3+, maybe up to 350 around.</p><p><br /></p><p> Got the manufacturer, they were also most likely made by John G Hancock.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
