1791 Large Eagle Cent. Musante GW-15, Baker-15, W-10610. Lettered Edge. AU-55 (PCGS).Smooth and inviting surfaces exhibit glints of reddish-rose and olive-gray to otherwise dominant medium brown patina. Boldly struck throughout with a hard, satiny texture that offers superior eye appeal at the assigned grade level. This type was produced by W. and Alex Walker of Birmingham, England in an attempt to convince the United States Congress that their private firm could supply high quality coinage to the new nation at less expense than a government owned and operated mint. Dies for this type are attributed to John Gregory Hancock, Jr., who also designed the famous 1792 Washington Roman Head cent. Walker shipped approximately 2,500 Large Eagle cents (as well as 1,500 Small Eagle examples) to Thomas Ketland & Sons in Philadelphia for presentation to legislators. Most of those examples eventually found their way into circulation in the coinage-starved United States of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, but todays collectors are fortunate in that many high grade examples were preserved by collectors and others in England. The present example probably owes its preservation to earlier generations of English numismatists, the surfaces with just a trace of rub from cabinet friction and no evidence of having seen commercial use.PCGS# 702.
