- Circa 1793 Washington Success Token. Large Size. First Obverse. Musante GW-41, Baker-265A, Breen-1287, DeWitt-GW 1792-1. Brass. Plain edge. MS-63 (PCGS). 25.0 mm. 72.2 grains. Light golden olive with accents of rich blue, violet and rose iridescence. Traces of vivid orange in some of the peripheral recesses add to the visual appeal, which is unusually nice on this pleasantly lustrous specimen. Struck from the usual GW-41 die pair, but with both dies in their latest observed states. The reverse die is heavily spalled, a state rarely seen in this marriage. In fact, it seems to only exist on a few examples with plain edges. The obverse is likewise in a late state with light spalling through the letters of the legend and in a small patch beneath the epaulet of Washington’s coat. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the John L. Roper, 2nd Collection, December 1983, lot 403. PCGS# 779.
