Description
1792 Washington President Cent, Baker-59
Plain Edge, XF Details
1792 Washington President Cent, Plain Edge--Obverse
Scratched--NGC Details. XF. Baker-59, W-10690, Musante GW-35A,
R.6. For more than a century, numismatists believed that the
1792 Washington President cents were struck at the Westwood Mint in
England. Recent research confirms that they were made in America,
by Newburyport, Massachusetts, engraver and inventor Jacob Perkins,
who copied the Washington bust from the Westwood 1791 cents. The
plain edge variety is rare, with fewer than 20 pieces known. Unlike
a number of survivors, the present chocolate-brown representative
has a fully readable reverse legend,. The obverse displays partial
epaulet detail. The few thin marks on the obverse field are
forgivable given the considerable rarity of the variety and an
absence of high-grade examples. Listed on page 84 of the 2021
Guide Book.Ex: Donald G. Partrick.
