- 1791 Washington Large Eagle Cent. W-10610, Baker-15. URS-11. Lettered Edge. MS-64 RB (PCGS). CAC. This premium-quality example retains a considerable amount of mint red color for a Washington copper of this type. The obverse is particularly vivid, glossy-brown patina mingling nicely with light-orange luster. Gray-brown toning dominates the outward appearance on the reverse, but we do see some faded rose-orange luster near the border on that side. Boldly struck and quite smooth, a few trivial blemishes are easily overlooked.
