Breen-1217, W-10630 variety.

A superb quality specimen of this important type, minted during the first Washington administration as a pattern for a circulating coin.

And this is among the best, original examples we’ve seen.  Very sharply struck with lustrous original surfaces and brilliant mint red remaining in all of the lettering and devices on both the obverse and reverse. 

Washington’s bust in particular is outlined by electric original color creating a dramatic and beautiful effect.

Ex Goldberg’s February 2001 sale of the Benson Collection, Part I, lot #116.
