Description

Lovely 1793 S-9 Wreath Cent, AU58

1793 1C Wreath Cent, Vine and Bars AU58 PCGS. S-9, R.2. Ex: Hesselgesser. The S-9 die marriage combines the horizontal stem obverse with a kidney-shaped ribbon bow on the reverse. It is clearly the most plentiful Wreath cent variety, an excellent choice for type collectors. This early die state example has minor die cracks on Liberty's temple, and no signs of any clash marks or die cracks on the reverse. Examples are usually seen with die cracks at the lower right part of the reverse. The olive and dark brown surfaces have microscopic roughness with few other imperfections of any sort. While imperfectly centered, full beaded borders are visible on both sides. EAC 45.
