Description
1784 Ugly Head Copper, Poor 1
Baker-8, Rare Guide Book Variety
1784 Washington Ugly Head, Copper, Baker-8, W-10590, Musante
GW-56, R.7, Poor 1 PCGS. Not much is known about the Washington
Ugly Head tokens except that they are rare. The variety was unknown
to the American numismatic community prior to 1860, when it was
described in the July 1860 issue of Historical Magazine.
Although the Guide Book calls it a satirical medal, it may
instead be the case that the execution was amateur. This is a worn
example with moderately granular golden-brown, steel-blue, and
rose-red surfaces. The bust is fully outlined, but most of the
remainder of the design is worn smooth. Listed on page 78 of the
2024 Guide Book.From The Del Mar Collection.
