Description
1793 S-10 Wreath Cent, XF40
Natural Reddish-Copper Color
1793 1C Wreath, Vine and Bars Edge, S-10, B-10, R.4, XF40
PCGS. Reddish-copper coloration coats the choice surfaces of
this wonderful mid-grade Wreath Cent, with greenish hues present on
the reverse as well. Wear is even, and abrasions are not found in
the prime focal areas, but are relegated to old scrapes in remote
regions: near the obverse rim at 9:00, near the truncation of the
bust, and over the CA of AMERICA. The Wreath cent represented the
second of three cent designs in the denomination's inaugural year
of 1793, and had the highest production, at 63,353 of the 110,512
cents minted that year. While the emission sequence of Wreath Cents
is uncertain, the present S-10 was produced at the middle to the
end of the mintage of this type. It is identified by the
tridirectional nature of the thin leaves above the date and the
presence of leaves under AME instead of berries.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 223H, Variety PCGS# 35462, Base PCGS# 1347, Greysheet# 76727)
