Description

A 1783 Washington & Independence cent with a small bust portrait and plain edge. The small bust design presents a more compact portrait of Washington than the standard draped bust or large bust types. The plain edge is the simplest edge treatment. This variety represents one of several distinct die combinations in the 1783 Washington & Independence cent series.

Rarity Notes

Scarce. Small bust plain edge is relatively uncommon.
