Lot Description

"1783" (ca. 1860) Draped Bust Copper. Restrike. Musante GW-107, Baker-3, Vlack 17-L, W-10360. No Button. Copper. Engrailed Edge. Proof-63 BN (PCGS). A lovely Choice example of this perennially popular Washington type. Both sides are sharply struck with full detail over even the most trivial design features. The fields are noticeably reflective, both sides with a hard and smooth-looking appearance that is suggestive of a higher numeric grade. Handsome reddish-copper patina and iridescent pale lilac undertones round out an impressive list of attributes for this endearing piece. PCGS# 685. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
