Lot 300
1793 S-11b R4 Wreath Cent with Lettered Edge and 2 Leaves following DOLLAR. VG-7. A few points sharper but there is very fine roughness in the fields and protected areas while the devices are smooth. No verdigris, and the only notable contact mark is a pinprick at the tip of the wreath stem left of the fraction. Cleaned and retoned a rather glossy steel and light olive brown with hints of underlying reddish brown that give away the earlier cleaning. There are a couple small splashes of silvery toning on the lower part of the neck and bust. The date is complete and easily readable but not strong and the legends are clear. The edge lettering and 2 leaves are bold. E-MDS, Breen state II.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
