November 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1783 Unity States. Musante GW-104, Baker-1, Breen-1188. Copper. Plain edge. MS-61 BN (PCGS). 28.2 mm. 120.0 grains. Very dark olive patina, verging on slate, with a few lighter brown patina breaks on the highest points. Remnants of the usual planchet grooves on both sides, but they are quite soft and peripheral on the reverse and quite minor in comparison to the pronounced striated texture often seen. Beautifully detailed, and though the obverse is a little granular, the reverse is sharp and glossy and of superior quality to most seen. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS# 689.
