Description
1791 Washington Large Eagle Cent
MS65 Red and Brown, Baker-15
1791 CENT Washington Large Eagle Cent MS65 Red and Brown NGC.
Baker-15, W-10610, Musante GW-15, R.2. The well-made Washington
Large Eagle cent was undoubtedly the prototype for the rare 1792
Peter Getz patterns. The issue was familiar to Philadelphia
merchants, due to a shipment of 2,500 Large Eagle cents from
Birmingham, England, to Thomas Ketland & Sons of Philadelphia, in
an attempt to secure a Birmingham contract to strike Federal
coinage. When those plans fell through, the coppers were placed
into local circulation. The present sharply struck Gem offers
satiny and unabraded surfaces. Design recesses retain the initial
sun-gold color, although the high points and open fields have
mellowed to steel-gray. Listed on page 83 of the 2018 Guide

finer (5/17).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2B6Z, PCGS# 703, Greysheet# 254)
