Undated (ca. 1795) Washington Liberty and Security Penny. Musante GW-45, Baker-30, W-11050. Copper. ASYLUM Edge. MS-64 BN (PCGS).33.3 mm. 297.4 grains. Lovely chocolate brown with flecks or rich coppery-orange and halos of blue-green toning through the recesses, legends and in outline around the devices. Lustrous and well-struck, with the usual unevenness in the rims caused by the application of the lettered edge device. One small dig in the central reverse and a tiny nick under the eagles bundle of arrows, but notably mark-free otherwise. Excellent quality and eye appeal.From the Richard August Collection.
