Description
Rare 1793 S-7 Wreath Cent
1793 1C Wreath Cent--Vine and Bars--Fine Details NCS. VG8 EAC. S-7, Die State IV, Low R.6. Probably no more than 700 pieces were struck of this variety and delivered April 13, the die failure on the lower obverse most likely accounting for its rarity. This is a later die state, one where the dot over the I in LIBERTY no longer shows. Heavy die failure is seen through the 179 of the date. Even though not present on this coin, the dot on the unique early die state of S-7 is taken as proof that the engraver used a twin punch to make the border beads. This piece has even, glossy, dark brown surfaces. Noticeable porosity is seen over each side with a tiny planchet flake out of the obverse on the upper portion of Liberty's neck, and a larger flake out of the reverse over the lower portion of the C in CENT. This is tied for 12th finest known of the variety. NCS Corroded.Ex: Dr. William H. Sheldon; Stack's (10/38), lot 256; Floyd Starr Collection (Stack's, 6/84), lot 11, as VG 10; G.
