Description
Imposing MS62 Brown Born Virginia Cent
Inscribed Reverse, Baker-60
1792 1C Washington Born Virginia Cent, Inscribed Reverse MS62
Brown NGC. Baker-60, R.6. Although John Gregory Hancock's 1791
Small Eagle and Large Eagle cents are relatively common, his Born
Virginia Washington pieces were apparently coined in much smaller
quantities. When encountered, survivors tend to be circulated and
exhibit weakness on the central reverse legends. NGC has certified
just three pieces as of (4/08), and two are in VF grades. The
present piece is easily the finest in an NGC holder, and it boasts
a sharp, even strike and consistent dark walnut-brown toning. A
tiny obverse rim nick at 3 o'clock and a faded mark in front of the
nose are consistent with the grade. Listed on page 78 of the 2008
Guide Book.From The Liberty Collection of American Colonial Coinage, Part Three.
