1791 Washington Large Eagle Cent. Breen-1206. PCGS AU58. Wonderfully smooth surfaces and a meticulous strike are further embellished by rich chestnut-brown patina. The fields, moreover, still exhibit quite a bit of underlying muted satiny lutstre. Though somewhat more common in the upper grades, this elusive issue is significantly scarcer in terms of overall population than its Small Eagle counterpart offered above.
Ex Murray, Swope, Young, and Van Ormer Sale (September 1985), Bowers and Merena: 1410.
