1791 Washington Large Eagle cent. Baker-15, Musante GW-15, W-10610. MS-63 BN (PCGS).193.2 grains. A spectacular example, fully lustrous and boldly reflective on both sides, with a superb blend of original mint color, faded pale blue, and frosty steel brown. Definitively well detailed, with clean surfaces and abundant red, this piece offers gem-caliber visual appeal that surpasses the assigned grade. Some truly trivial obverse hairlines are noted under magnified scrutiny. A stellar specimen.From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Stack’s sale of the David Spence Collection, March 1975, lot 781.
