Lot 43
1793 S-5 R4 Wreath Cent Counterstamped "J. STAPLETON" Basal State-1. Slightly glossy dark chocolate and olive brown. This cent is heavily worn and covered with fine roughness, but there is enough detail remaining to positively attribute it as the Sheldon-5 die variety. The major devices remaining visible are the sprig over the date, the top of the head, and parts of LIBERTY. There is a deep planchet delamination where the date should have been, the stamp "J. STAPLETON" strongly added across the obverse from rim to rim, and "1858" engraved above the stamp. This is the Brunk S-862 stamp. Estimate Value $300 - UP
