Undated (Possibly Circa 1793) Washington Success Medal. Large Size. Baker-266, W-10915. Rarity-7. Brass. Reeded Edge. MS-63+ (PCGS). 67.9 grains.&nbsp;A boldly struck and highly lustrous olive-gold example of a mainstay among the Washingtoniana series. Indeed, the reverse all-seeing eye is fuller in detail than typically seen. No marks or unsightly blemishes assault the unaided eye, and close examination under low magnification fails to yield a mark of any significance.&nbsp;The present lustrous beauty is <strong><em>the&nbsp;only example of the variety to receive a + designation from PCGS within any grade. </em></strong>Certainly a <em><strong>Condition Census</strong> </em>example of the variety, especially among PCGS-certified specimens. Choice and appealing throughout.
