PCGS. This is a late die state of the First Obverse as
identified in Neil Musante's two-volume work on Washington pieces.
Baker asserted that these pieces were produced for Washington's
second inauguration in 1793, and Musante reproduces an 1801
advertisement of Thomas Passmore that offers for sale "3000 medals
[with a ] striking likeness of General Washington." This brass
example blends golden-olive and steel toning. Impressively free
from marks, and the strike is bold aside from diagnostic softness
on the all-seeing eye. Listed on page 86 of the 2018 Guide
