Lot 20
1783 Washington Token. Large military bust. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. One of the finest graded of this variety, and the surfaces are nice for the grade assigned. We note a tiny scrape left of the & on the obverse, and the color is medium brown and free of problems. Sharp at the centers, but weak on parts of the peripheral lettering on the left side. Doubling is noted on the dentils on the right, and this one may be slightly double struck. PCGS has only graded 1 coin as such, with 1 graded higher, as MS-63 Brown, and 1 other as MS-62 Red and Brown for the top three seen by that service. An important example for the specialist.
Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,200.
