Description

Circa 1793 Washington Success Token. Large Size. First Obverse. Musante GW-41, Baker-265A, Breen-1287. Brass. Plain edge. AU-50 (PCGS).

25.4 mm. 62.8 grains. Golden olive surfaces with some darker patina in the reverse recesses, while about 25% or so of the original tinning remains. A couple of ancient and light abrasions are noted at the central reverse, but the eye appeal is quite pleasing overall. Struck from the late die state, with a prominent obverse crack crossing Washington's nose, extending from the rim over the G of WASHINGTON to the rim over his head, at 11 o'clock.

From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from France, via American Heritage Minting (William Paul), December 1995.
