Pleasingly Detailed Sheldon-6 1793 Cent
Wreath, Vine, and Bars

1793 1C Wreath Cent, Vine and Bars Genuine PCGS. S-6, B-7, R.3. The PCGS number ending in .97 suggests Environmental Damage as the reason, or one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has environmental damage. Despite some fine areas of the most undistracting microcorrosion, there is enormous appeal remaining over the surfaces, largely nut-brown on both sides. Part of the obverse border is off the planchet at 3:30, with the most prominent border opposite at 9:30, but the reverse border is full all the way around. There are no significant marks or abrasions on either side, and lots of pleasing detail is on display throughout. A super coin for one fortunate collector. MRB VF35.
