	Walter Breen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Walter Breen (September 5, 1928 - April 28, 1993) was an American author.
		Breen's pederasty was an open secret in both science fiction and numismatic circles; in the sixties he was banned for life from attending World Con sci-fi festivals due to his behavior with children, a controversy which became known as the "Breendoggle" and resonates in that community to this day.
		Breen was first arrested in the 1950s for "lewd behavior", exposing himself to young boys under a boardwalk in Atlantic City; in 1991 he was charged with eight felony counts of child molestation involving a thirteen-year-old boy, the son of science-fiction writer Stephen Goldin (who has since gone public).

		Breen seems to hold these in contempt since (he feels) that they are mass produced, and lack the character of when proofs were works of art.

		Walter Breen, born 1930, known as W. Brilling and J. Eglinton, was another overlooked Gay genius who died largely unnoticed.
		A former researcher at the National Archives, Breen was always a controversial, if charismatic, figure in the Gay movement, and an eloquent speaker.
		An excellent, empathetic and innovative teacher of gifted children, and an advocate of the pedophilic tradition of education which was highly honored in Victorian England and Germany, Breen was accused of child molesting in the 1960's, flmailed out of sci-fi circles, and separated from Bradley.

		González Salinas is looking for information on any specific aspect of Breen's life, he is welcome to contact me at fanning32@earthlink.net. One of my pet projects has been the compilation of a bibliography of the numismatic works of Breen as well as a bio.
		As some readers no doubt are aware, the bio of Breen is at times quite confusing, and even the year of his birth is not known with certainty, with some sources giving 1930 and some 1928.
		Astrology was one of Walter's many varied hobbies and it was only natural to try to do a chart for one who was as mentally astute as Walter was.

		The seeds of Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of Early United States Cents 1793-1814 germinated back in 1949 with the publication of William Sheldon's masterwork Early American Cents, revised and updated as Penny Whimsy in 1958, and reprinted in 1965.
		One clever method Breen employed to identify theretofore unknown die varieties was to superimpose photographic slides of the same date on top of one another, whereupon minute differences (and by definition, new varieties), if any, were noticeable.
		Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of Early United States Cents 1793-1814 is a masterful, exhaustive analysis of cents minted during the infancy of our nation.

		Breen provides good quality enlarged lithographs of variable, but worse than average quality photographs of the coins (many under exposed, 1 or 2 out of focus).
		While Breen is known for in depth analysis of device punch changes, this is not to be found in this volume.
		Despite its several omissions and Breen's sometimes strong prejudices (expressed in the historical commentary) this is the most complete work on US coins that you will find in one volume.
