"1783" (Circa 1820) Washington Military Bust Copper. Baker-4A, W-10155. Rarity-2. Small Military Bust. Plain Edge. MS-62 BN (PCGS). 118.8 grains. Glossy deep golden-brown with olive highlights. Low magnification reveals a network of faint obverse die cracks, the first underlining HINGT, another from rim between N and D that reaches Washington's portrait. A patch of scaly detritus is seen in the reverse field near Liberty's head. Still, choice to the naked eye and for the assigned grade as well.
