Lot 2347
1793 S-6 R3. Good-6. Wreath Cent. Sharpness at least F15 but the obverse has been extensively tooled to strengthen the details, then burnished and retoned glossy chocolate and olive brown. The reverse was not tooled and offers excellent eye appeal in its own right. No roughness, verdigris, or marks (other than the fine tooling). The reason for tooling the obverse is not apparent since the surfaces are smooth and there is no evidence of any repair. Determining a grade for a piece such as this presents a challenge, but the G6 we assigned as a net grade seems quite conservative given the excellent detail and eye appeal. This one deserves a look.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
