1793 S-11b Wreath Cent, VG8
Lovely Blue-Steel Example

1793 1C Wreath, Lettered Edge, S-11b, B-16b, R.4, VG8 PCGS. Blue-steel fields contrast with tan design elements, creating a lovely "circulation cameo" effect. Porosity is faint and light on the obverse, where the reverse has minor, but even, porosity throughout. Planchet defects can be found on the upper right and lower left of the reverse; as struck. The rightward leaning leaves above the date immediately identify the die marriage as S-11, and the Lettered Edge narrows it down to S-11b.
