Lot 2230
(1792-95) Washington Success Token Large Size in Brass with Reeded Edge Breen-1286. PCGS graded MS-63. Frosty light golden steel brown and tan. The planchet is covered with a very thin layer of oxidation that subdues the luster, but otherwise the surfaces are mark-free. Sharply struck on a flawless planchet. The obverse is perfectly centered while the reverse is off very slightly leaving the tops of TO THE close to the edge. The die state is relatively early as the always-present die crack from the nose to the rim at NG is light. This is the so-called "Bob Hope Nose" type as George's nose is rather prominent. Another very attractive Washington colonial piece offered in this sale.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
