Description
1791 Washington Small Eagle Cent MS 60 Prooflike. A very scarce Washington piece that has the bust of Washington on the obverse in military uniform with WASHINGTON PRESIDENT around the margins. The reverse has a small eagle with an arch of clouds above and 8 stars between, ONE CENT is at the top and the date 1791 below. The edge is lettered, reading: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.X. Struck in copper. Listed by Rulau as an R.3. Prooflike fields, the brown surfaces show a bright, glittering iridescence. There are a few tiny flecks of carbon scattered here and there. Many will think our grading of this lovely coin a bit on the conservative side. Purchased by the consignor, David M. Faraday, from Ford City Coins & Stamps, Ltd., at the SCNA show on February 26, 1977 for $1,100.
