GTG - 1788 Massachusetts Cent - You vs Walter Breen (no, really!)

Its a good thing he didn't counterstamp it with a 'Breen' punch. Now you can just lose that "pedigree."

Looks in the good range.

My guess is fine-12. Nice coin. I've always wanted one.

 

I wouldn't think any higher than G, and more likely AG. That coin has a LOT if wear.

 

During Breen's time, my guess is Good.

 

Ok, it's 47:30 since the opening of the thread, so here's the big reveal! I know you're all on the edge of your seat in anticipation of this momentous occasion!

Walter Breen and Bert Cunningham graded this as 'GOOD' (and genuine) back in the day. As for when that day was, I'm not sure. There is an embossed 'seal' on the paperwork and photo, which may have a date, but I haven't been able to read it.

Here's the documentation that came with the coin;

 

That documentation is probably worth more than the coin!!!

 

With Breen probably not. If someone enjoys it by all means have it though

 

I'd say Good.
