Previously Breen-Gillio BG-227 Die State-2. Important: This is not BG-227-2. Reported in Brasher Bulletin, Vol.5,#1, p.8, by Jack Totheroh. There is an early die state of BG-227W without ‘broken nose’ which was lost in the robbery of September 1993.
PCGS did not differentiate BG-227 from BG-226A until 1997. Unless the coin can be viewed it is unknown as to which it is. Formerly BG-227W.
