*Highlight* 1791 Washinton 1c Small Eagle Washington 1c
***Auction Highlight*** 1791 Washinton 1c Small Eagle Graded au58 details By SEGS.Following his successful win in the Revolutionary War, George Washingon became one of the most revered men on the planet. Numerous coins, medals, and tokens bear his portrait, much to his chagrin. The last thing Washington wanted was to be treated like a king, so when the U.S. government proposed putting his portrait on an official coin, he balked. What he could not prevent were the numerous private issues struck by people who had little concern for his wishes or who were more concerned with making money by using his image.The 1791 Washington Small Eagle Cent is one such coin. Themotif was clearly American, though the heraldic eagle on the reverse has only eight stars and the arrows and the olive branch are in the wrong talons.
