Description
Sharp 1793 S-11b Lettered Edge Wreath Cent
1793 1C Wreath Cent--Lettered Edge--VF Details NCS. Fine 12 EAC. S-11b, R.4. Distinguished from its S-11a and S-11c counterparts by the presence of two leaves on the lettered edge. Possibly 2,500 to 3,000 pieces out of the 11,825 cents delivered on July 6 were of this sub-variety. Breen speculated that the change to the Lettered Edge might distinguish the Watson & Greenleaf copper shipment from earlier sources. The May 16 Watson & Greenleaf shipment totaled 11,294 pounds of copper. Very scarce in high grades, this coin easily has the sharpness of a VF20 coin, but the surfaces are dark with uniform evidence of corrosion and light burnishing. The central reverse is noticeably weak, indicating a later die state, although the porosity prevents an exact die state determination. NCS Corroded.Ex: Quality Sales Corp.
