1791 Georgia George Washington Cent
- 1791 Georgia George Washington Cent
- George Washington was America's greatest hero, so it was not suprising that many people wanted his portrait on the new nations coins.
- The privatelyminted 1791 Cent was a proposed design for federal coinage.
- President Washington, however, rejected the design as "monarchical".
- As a result, the first federal Cents feature Lady Liberty.
- This replica coin the size of a silver dollar comes encased in plastic mounted on carboard and in a plastic sleve.
- On the back is a brief history of the colony.
- Comes with a C.O.A.
- An original coin would sell for hundreds of dollars.
