Ron Guth:

In 1792, Peter Getz created silver and copper coins bearing the portrait of George Washington. Various writers have called this a pattern coinage or an attempt by Getz to obtain either a contract coinage or employment at the about-to-be-established U.S. Mint. The copper pieces vary widely in weight and diameter. Weights as low as 197 grains and as high as 273 grains have been recorded. The best known example (PCGS MS64BN) weighs 259 grains, which is close to the 1792 statutory weight of 264 grains. Others weigh closer to the 1793 standard weight of 208 grains, suggesting that the coin was meant to circulate as a Cent. Diameters vary from 29 mm to as wide as 36 mm. Thus, Getz's 1792 Washington Cent can be found on broad, thin planchets, narrow, thick planchets, or variants of the two.

Edges are either plain or ornamented with circles and squares.

An estimated 30-50 examples are known of this type, which is an insufficient supply to satisfy the demand from collectors of Washingtonia and U.S. pre-federal coinage.
