- Very Rare Washington Draped Bust Copper in Brass “1783” (Circa 1860) Washington Draped Bust Copper. Reissue by W.S. Taylor. No Button. Musante GW-107, Baker-3 (unlisted in brass), Breen-unlisted, Vlack 17-L. Brass. Engrailed edge. MS-65+ (PCGS). 28.1 mm. 140.3 grains. An intensely attractive example from these dies in brass, a composition that was not listed by Baker, Fuld, Rulau or Musante. Clearly it is very rare. Rich golden surfaces are generously highlighted by pale blue iridescence, the reverse being particularly colorful and attractive. Boldly reflective fields are virtually hairline-free, and the satiny motifs stand out sharply against them. Beautifully struck and simply all-around beautiful! Struck from the Vlack 17-L dies as are the silver and copper examples offered here. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova; Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
