Lot Description

Undated (Circa 1783) Washington Double-Head Cent. W-11200, Baker-6, Breen-1204. URS-11. Plain Edge. MS-61 BN (NGC). Nicely toned in medium-brown shades, this pieces also offers suitably bold definition and freedom from sizable blemishes. A little bit of light carbon is noted for the obverse, a feature that is hardly significant at the assigned grade level. An appealing BU that would fit nicely into a specialized Washingtonia collection or a type set of Colonial and early Federal-era coinage.
