Circa 1793 Washington Success Token. Large Size. First Obverse. Musante GW-41, Baker-265, Breen-1286, DeWitt-GW 1792-2. Brass, Silvered. Reeded edge. MS-62 (PCGS).25.0 mm. 71.6 grains. Considerable silvering remains and is lost only on the higher points of the relief. Elsewhere, this gives the piece soft satiny luster. A small area of discoloration is noted behind Washington’s head. Softly struck at the reverse center as typical of the issue. Small flan cracks are noted above Washington’s head and through the first G of GEORGE. Light obverse die rust between the hair tie and E of GEORGE, but no sign of the reverse spalling that later appears on this die. We have not seen the spalling on any reeded edge example from this obverse die. A lustrous and handsome example of this popular issue believed to have been struck for Washington’s second inauguration.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.
