- Superb 1791 Large Eagle Cent One of the Finest Seen 1791 Large Eagle Cent. Musante GW-15, Baker-15, Breen-1206. Copper. Lettered Edge, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. MS-64 RB (PCGS). 29.5 mm. 187.0 grains. An outstanding example of this early classic, with more original color than we recall having seen on any other. Probably about 70% or so of the original orange red color remains, with slight mellowing in the open fields and the high points toned to warm, light tan. Naturally the most robust color clings closer to the devices where the surfaces have been most protected. A blush of soft blue-green and violet is noted over Washington's head, and there are a few ancient light patina spots here and there, not unlike those seen on famous hoard coins like certain early large cent and half cent varieties. Sharp, satiny and lustrous with some prooflike accents in the fields. A common enough issue to find in general, but almost never available with an appearance this pristine. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
