详细说明

Undated (1795) Washington Liberty and Security Penny. Baker-30D, W-11060. URS-5. Normal Rims. ASYLUM Edge. MS-65 BN (PCGS). Deep golden-tan with lighter golden frost in the deeply protected areas. Nothing short of gorgeous, the present piece is nicely struck for the issue with nearly full epaulette details on the obverse -- this design highpoint is often far weaker than presented here -- and only a hint of weakness is seen on the eagle’s sinister wing, though the feather details are, again, bolder than typical. Carefully preserved for decades, this attractive Gem Mint State piece owes its origins to the British political series of Conder tokens of Middlesex County, in this case D&H-243. Choice for the grade and worthy of strong bidding activity.
