Now Breen is grading coins from beyond the grave in Hades ...

This guy really must be a graduate of the Drunken Sailor School of Numismatics!

its not said to be autographed by Breen but is the equivalent of having your coin autographed by one of the legends of numismatics since the seller is of the mind that Breen himself authenticated it.

i wonder what makes it a Breen, what anomaly or variety.
Its not a Breen just because ` Breen graded it`. He may not have anyway.
Its a `Breen` and thats all the seller knows of it? huh.

On top of obviously not knowing what the Breen designation on the holder means, he decides to add that Breen is "one of the original founders of ANA"?

Where does he come up with that?

It seems that ANACS listed the Breen number because he listed this variety as a double punched "89". I couldn't tell from the pictures if the double punch was very pronounced.

I don't think Breen actually handled this particular coin though.

I think that the seller needs to go to his library of the complete works of Walter Breen and look at the tome adjacent to this one!
