Lot 130
1793 S-5 R4 Wreath Cent with Large Date and LIBERTY. PCGS graded VF-25. Attractive glossy chocolate brown with underlying frosty luster in the fields and protected areas. Hints of lighter brown and chocolate create a subtle woodgrained look on both sides. The only marks are some shallow planchet striation voids on the obverse, the only significant one extending from the top of the neck to the hair at the truncation. If not for these small planchet defects this piece would be choice in every respect. Sharply struck EDS, Breen state I, before any crumbling in the dentils above LIBER. A very nice example of the Large Date and LIBERTY variety. Graded VF20 in the Del Bland census. Our grade is VF20. The attribution is shown on the PCGS label. Only 63,353 struck.
Estimated Value $15,000-UP.
