Description
1793 WREATH CENT, AU55+
THE FROSSARD-GARRETT SHELDON-11B
1793 S-11b R4 Wreath Cent with Lettered Edge AU55+ PCGS, CAC
Approved. Lettered Edge variety with two leaves following
DOLLAR. Choice glossy light to medium brown with steel brown toning
on the highpoints of the devices. Peeps of frosty tan faded down
from mint color are nestled around the wreath. Smooth and very
attractive with just a couple minor marks. A thin nick or tiny
scratch nestled between the ends of the lowest two hair strands, a
trivial rim nick below the right ribbon end (hidden under the PCGS
tab), and a pair of dark spots off the left end of the wreath
ribbon are the only notable defects. MDS, Breen state III, with
strong die clashmarks in the field before the face where most of
AMERICA (incuse of course) is clearly visible. Graded EF45 and CC#
2 in the Bland census. Noyes says EF45 and CC#3, his photo #28945.
This cataloger's EAC grade is EF45. Comes with a very impressive,
unbroken provenance that has been traced back nearly 140 years. The
attribution and Garrett-Loring-Husak Collection provenance are
noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer in
