Lot 78
1791 Washington Cent with Small Eagle Reverse Breen-1217. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Frosty light greenish olive brown and steel with peeps of faded mint red remaining visible on both sides. The surfaces are very lightly oxidized leaving the underlying luster a bit subdued, but overall the eye appeal is quite nice. A proper brushing might make this piece really "pop." A small spot of slightly darker reddish chocolate brown toning at the rim under the shoulder is the best identifying mark. The edge reads "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" which is the usual edge device seen on this type. Listed on page 81 in the "Redbook." Pop 14; 36 finer at PCGS.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
