1793 S-8 R3 Wreath Cent. PCGS graded AU-58. Glossy steel and olive brown with traces of frosty luster peeking through in protected areas, especially on the reverse.

MDS, Breen state II, with a fine diagonal die crack through the wreath from the first T in STATES to the second A in AMERICA, strongest inside the wreath. Well struck with all the border beads intact on both sides. A very nice Wreath Cent. Graded EF40 Average Plus and CC#13 in the Noyes census, his photo #62003. Our grade is EF40.
