Description

Washingtoniana
"1783” (circa 1860s) Washington and Independence. No Button. Musante GW-107 (Dies 17-L), Baker-3A, Breen-1195. Silver. Engrailed edge. PR-64 (PCGS).
28.3 mm. 152.7 grains. Vibrant blue-green, gold and rose toning over most of the surface is accentuated by the prooflike fields. Sharp, satiny devices with a single dark patina spot at Washington’s temple. Only trivial signs of handling are noted. Struck from a slightly advanced state of the dies (beyond that seen on the bronze example to follow), with the circular crack through STATES extending past the rightmost ground, arcing into the exergue. A restrike issue, but always very popular in this desirable composition.
PCGS# 688.
From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
Estimate: $1800
