Robinson's Fantasy Washington Cent
J. Doyle DeWitt, in his monograph on Alfred Robinson, states that Robinson
commissioned George H. to make dies for a Washington Cent dated 1789 but
since there were no original pieces it was decided to pattern it after the
Washington Half Dollar facsimile produced for William Idler. Neil Musante,
in "Medallic Washington", corrects this error and says this was an
approximation of the Washington Cent created by John Gregory Hancock
dated 1791.

Alfred S. Robinson Store Cards
In his monograph on Robinson, J. Doyle DeWitt describes this
token as the only known example and currently is his collection.
I obtained this example in 2018 and a hand written notation with
it said it was one of two known; I assumed this was the
DeWitt specimen and the note was incorrect. But in the sale
of the DeWitt Collection by Heritage in 2022 his example was in
a lot of thirty eight other tokens.
