Lot 123
1783 Washington Token. Silver Restrike Draped EE. PCGS graded Proof 64. Nicely toned in netural shades of antique silver gray. Very bold strike from carefully prepared dies. Coins and tokens in this interesting series dated from 1783 to 1795 bear the portrait of George Washington. The likenesses in most instances were faithfully reproduced and were designed to honor the first president. Many of these were of English origin and were made later than their dates indicate.
The Engrailed Edge, Draped Bust silver restrikes of the 1783 token (similar in size to the other Washington pieces bearing the denomination ONE CENT) are especially desirable since most piece of this era were in copper or white metal, rarely silver. Scarce.
Pop 10; 6 finer (PCGS # 688) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
