- 1791 Washington Large Eagle Cent. Musante GW-15, Baker-15, W-10610. Lettered Edge. MS-63 * BN (NGC). A pronounced prooflike finish and vivid antique gold and cobalt blue undertones clearly explain the coveted NGC * designation for superior eye appeal. Otherwise silver-copper in appearance with an impressively sharp strike for the type that is full in virtually all areas. This popular Washington type was produced in England as part of a bid to secure a coinage contract from the United States Congress. While many examples that were shipped to America eventually found their way into circulation, many high grade examples such as this were preserved by collectors and others in England. Few of the latter are as visually appealing as this stunning Choice specimen. PCGS# 702. NGC ID: 2B6Z. Click here for certification details from NGC.
