Description
1791 Washington Cent, MS65+ Brown
Baker-16, Small Eagle Reverse
1791 CENT Washington Small Eagle Cent MS65+ Brown PCGS.
Baker-16, W-10630, Musante GW-17, R.3. In the years following
the Revolution, English coiners attempted to persuade the newly
independent United States to hire those firms for the purpose of
providing coinage to the young nation. Sources suggest that 2,500
Washington Large Eagle cents and 1,500 Small Eagle cents were
shipped to Philadelphia for distribution to legislators. Such a
distribution may explain why many of these pieces exist in Mint
State grades. However, few are equal to the present piece.
Considerable orange mint luster remains in the protected areas on
this lovely Gem Washington cent. Both sides exhibit a full
cartwheel effect on impressive olive, chestnut, and steel surfaces.
Listed on page 83 of the 2018 Guide Book. Population: 8 in
65 (3 in 65+) Brown, 4 finer (5/17).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2B73, PCGS# 705, Greysheet# 255)
