February 10, 1796
COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, February 10, 1796
* President George Washington
* Proclamation signed in script
* U.S. coinage - copper cent
At the top of the front page and taking almost half a column is "A Proclamation" for reducing the weight of the copper cent and half cent due to the increased price of copper. Signed in script type by the President: Go. Washington (see). A significant numismatic item which also reduced slightly the size of these two coins at the time, and great to have a Washington Proclamation on the front page.
Four pages, inside has two very discrete archival mends, very nice condition..
