The special nature of this coin has been recognized since at least 1941 when it appeared in Mehl&#039;s Dunham Sale. It has passed from one specialist to another since then, always remaining in strong hands and rarely offered to the numismatic market. The obvious reason for striking this piece, as well as the other known branch mint proof, was &quot;resumption of coinage of this denomination at New Orleans (interrupted 1860),&quot; as stated in Breen (1977).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
