Description
1793 S-8 Wreath Cent, AU53
Glossy Mahogany Brown Surfaces
1793 1C Wreath, Vine and Bars Edge, S-8, B-13, R.3, AU53
NGC. Breen Die State II. An impressive first-year cent with the
Wreath reverse and Vine and Bars edge. This coin exhibits a
horizontal twig and slightly defective 93 in the date, with a
triangular bow on the reverse, identifying the popular Sheldon-8
variety. A bulge slants down to the right through the wreath on the
reverse, showing an early stage of the die crack that later bisects
the reverse along the edge of the bulge. Dramatic clash marks from
the wreath are evident below Liberty's chin. The glossy mahogany
brown surfaces are lightly abraded, with a trace of granularity in
the field behind Liberty's head and just a touch of wear is evident
on the strongly impressed design elements. The overall presentation
is most attractive. Our EAC grade XF40.Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2017), lot 3719; Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2024), lot 4377.
