Description

A 1792 Washington cent pattern by Peter Getz with the small eagle reverse and ornamented edge. This cent-sized pattern features WASHINGTON PRESIDENT on the obverse and a small eagle on the reverse. The ornamented edge adds an anti-counterfeiting device to the smaller denomination pattern. Cent patterns by Getz are rarer than the half dollar versions.
