Title: Unique—Breen-Gillio Plate Coin
Description: No Date (1853) round ¼ Dollar, BG-204A, PCGS AU58. Unique. Same obverse, new reverse with star above 1. The reverse die of this issue was used nowhere else, suggesting that it broke almost immediately (though there are no die cracks evident); it hardly seems to be a rejected pattern. In the 60+ years since this variety was discovered, no duplicate has ever appeared. Bright almost uncirculated. PCGS AU58 William C. O'Connor (PCGS# 133728). PCGS POP 0 +0.
