- Lot Description
- 1791 Small Eagle Cent. Musante GW-17, Baker-16, W-10630. Copper. Lettered Edge. AU-58 (NGC). Light auburn surfaces are lustrous where not gently worn, the high points are a deeper shade of brown, the fields showing a hint of iridescence when rotated in the light. A choice example of John Gregory Hancock's proposal for a coinage for the nascent United States.
