<p>[QUOTE="glaciermi, post: 74670, member: 4097"]Hello, new to the forum, but a long time lurker, and just had to ask... regarding the "Breen" label on certain U.S. coinage. I personally collect Jefferson nickels and have recently purchased an MS62 1982-P Breen-2811 (Wiped Obverse) 5 Full Steps/Obv-Rev '82. I realize that an individual named Walter Breen is highly regarded in the hobby for gold piece analysis, but am confused on this entry on a recent Jefferson nickel. Is there a Breen nickel catalog that this is referring too?</p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, the above graded coin I purchased on ebay for less than $2.00. It is graded by SEGS. (Recently a PCGS version of this coin went for $320.00 MS65 FS) I have read a lot about the poor quality of SGS coins, but it seems to me this SEGS company is very good at what it does especially nickels.
