Lot 56
1791 Washington Cent with Large Eagle Reverse Breen-1206. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Lustrous chocolate and steel brown with generous traces of faded mint color remaining on the obverse. There is a narrow swipe of reddish chocolate toning under the first 1 in the date and a few more scattered over the top of the reverse. A thin pre-striking planchet void on the cheek is the only other mark on otherwise flawless surfaces. Both sides are covered with a thin layer of natural oxidation, but the fields below are smooth and reflective. This piece may be prooflike, especially on the obverse, if the oxidation is carefully brushed away. Great eye appeal for the grade. Pop 22; 5 finer, 4 in 65, 1 in 66.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
