1793 S-8 R3 Wreath Cent VF20. Vine & Bars Edge. Sharpness at least 5 points better but there are myriad very faint hairline scratches in the fields on both sides, all very well hidden under the attractive glossy chocolate brown toning. This piece looks flawless to the unaided eye, and the hairlines are visible only under strong magnification. The surfaces are very smooth with no trace of corrosion, verdigris, or planchet flaws. The only marks other than the hairlines are a very light rim bruise left of the lower curls and a thin vertical nick in the hair left of the neck. Great eye appeal for the grade. LDS, Breen state III. The diagonal die crack inside the wreath is strong and the area surrounding the crack is clearly swollen. A great type coin for the 1793 Wreath Cent with Vine & Bars edge.
Estimated Value $7,500-UP.
