Description

AU Sharpness 1793 Wreath Cent
S-10, Vine and Bars Edge

1793 1C Wreath Cent, Vine and Bars--Obverse Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details. S-10, B-10, R.4. Breen Die State I. A scarcer Wreath cent variety relative to the "common" S-9. This is a splendidly detailed example. A patch of hairlines is noted on the lower right obverse field, and the dusky peach obverse toning suggests the piece was recolored at one time. Otherwise, this is an attractive type coin with noticeable satin luster and no obvious abrasions. The Wreath type was struck only in April and July 1794, sandwiched in between the Chain and Liberty Cap designs. MRB VF20.
From The Good Harbour Bay Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
