Description
1792 Washington President Cent, Fine 12
Eagle and Stars Reverse, Copper
Lettered Edge Baker-21, Seven Known
1792 Washington President Cent, Eagle and Stars Reverse,
Lettered Edge, Fine 12 NGC. Baker-21, W-10670, Musante GW-31C,
R.7. 179.1 grains, per its Roper catalog appearance. The 1792
Washington President cents were made by Massachusetts diesinker
Jacob Perkins. Examples are known with an eagle and stars reverse,
and with a legend reverse. Some have a lettered edge, and others
have a plain edge. Most are copper, but silver examples are known,
and one piece was struck in gold. All varieties range from rare to
extremely rare. The copper, lettered edge, eagle reverse Baker-21
has just seven confirmed survivors. Two are in museums, and a
majority exhibit damage of one kind or another. The present
problem-free piece is pedigreed to the celebrated Garrett, Roper,
and Partrick collections. The smooth medium brown surfaces are
pleasing, and retain pleasing detail on the stars and the eagle's
wings and scroll. Listed on page 83 of the 2021 Guide Book.
