[QUOTE="CheetahCats, post: 829731, member: 23874"]Hi specialty - Please post a photo each of the obverse and reverse (front and back) of the coin. This will help folks determine the specific variety, assess the condition, and perhaps, the value of your coin. Though 1789 does not ring a bell for me with respect to Washington pieces, among other sources and depending on the particular specimen you have, Washington coinage may be found in the following books: [U]Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins[/U] by Q. David Bowers (2009) ([I]pgs. 255-274[/I]) [U]A Guidebook of United States Coins 2010[/U] AKA "The Red Book" by R.S. Yeoman (2009) ([I]pgs. 75-80[/I]) [U]Walter Breen's Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins[/U] by Walter Breen (1988) ([I]various pages[/I]) These books may be found by title, among other places, at Amazon and ebay. Whitman and Breen's are a bit pricey, so you might want to try borrowing them from your local library first. Good luck, CheetahCats[/QUOTE]
