| Description |
1791 Washington President Large Eagle Cent MS63 Brown, GW-15Mint red lingers in the legends, shield, and branch, while the high points and open fields are chocolate-brown. An evenly struck and exemplary example. Carbon is inconsequential, and no marks are apparent. The 1791 Washington cents were issued in considerable quantity, but few survivors are as nice as the present piece. Listed on page 93 of the 2019 Guide Book. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
