Lot 25
1791 Washington Token Cent. Small eagle. PCGS graded MS-66 Brown. Tied with a total of 4 coins as the finest graded by PCGS for this important issue. The surfaces are simply outstanding, with light to medium brown color throughout, and hints of original red clinging near the devices. Fully struck by the dies, with excellent details on the epaulet and ruffles. These issues were no doubt examined when the time came to strike the first regular issues in Philadelphia, as certain design elements were employed, like the arc of clouds above the eagle, instead of the full circle as seen on the Great Seal. Certain to please the most advanced collector of Washingtonia.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
