A Colonial Newp! 1791 Washington Cent Large Eagle!

AnkurJ

I've always wanted one of these, and one was just offered on the BST for a very reasonable price. Dripping with history, and by far my favorite colonial coin! A big thanks to Jake of Hollyday coins for this one!



Thanks for looking!

I wish mine was that nice.

I love that coin too. Great designs and both sides, well preserved to appreciate the detail, and nice eye appeal. Not sure what more you could ask for.

Oh....Yeah!!! Love it!

i have always liked this particular issue........it has the same scrambled motto as the Brasher Doubloon, Unum E Pluribus (even if not gramatically correct, interesting read here)


looking at the picture, and it may just be an optical illusion as i see no corresponding mark on the reverse, there is a circle that touches the 'I' in WASHINGTON that i would swear was evidence of a plugged hole.......again, i dont mean to disparage the piece in any way and it obviously passed the PCGS test but this 'optical illusion' is interesting

Sweet - and that is about all I gotta say about that coin.

That is an amazing coin... very nice. I am also curious about the circular mark, and I do seem to see a corresponding mark on the reverse next to the fourth feather of the wing on the left (as you look at it). Even if plugged, I would love to have that coin. Really a nice specimen. Cheers, RickO

I did see that on the BST and thought it seemed very reasonably priced for the issue / grade.

Congrats Ankur -

QuarterCollector

Wow, I love it. Perfect grade. What stories this coin could tell.

fastfreddie

I'm still stinging over a deal in which I traded this and cash for a seated quarter that would not grade(3 different times) from who I thought was a very reputable dealer that shall remain nameless. This PCGS AU55 (55, that's a laugh) came from the Prestera auction in 2007.


I feel terrible - wish I could buy it back!

You are building a dandy collection.

Beautiful example and an excellent addition to the set.

Great pick up AnkurJ. A question though, is the dimple in the bottom of the letters on the obverse/reverse a result of bifurcation or of design. Just curious. I figured bifurcation but was not sure.
Thanks for sharing and as previously stated, you are building some collection, hope to get to view it all some day.

Not sure to be honest.
