Circa 1793 Washington Success Token. Small Size. Musante GW-44, Baker-267, var., Breen-1289, DeWitt-GW 1792-3. Brass, Silvered. Reeded edge. MS-62 (PCGS).18.9 mm. 27.5 grains. Another exceptional specimen, this with nearly full original silvering remaining on both sides giving the piece soft satiny luster and very nice eye appeal overall. Unlisted by Rulau and Fuld with a reeded edge and silvered. Though we have seen at least a couple of others in this format, this does seem to be a rarer variant. A small planchet flaw passes through the G of WASHINGTON toward the portrait. Struck on a more compact flan than usual with incomplete dentils, but a very choice piece nonetheless and with a very desirable provenance.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) sale of the John L. Roper, 2nd Collection, December 1983, lot 408.
