Lot 131
1793 S-6 R3 Wreath Cent VG10. Sharpness VF20 but covered with fine granularity, strongest on the reverse. No verdigris, and the only marks are a collection of a half dozen dull scratches in the field before the portrait and a few very light rim bruises on both sides. Uniform dark olive brown. The obverse is rather glossy while the reverse is closer to matte. The date and legends are complete and strong. E-MDS, Breen state II. The bulge or "Sprung Die" in the field behind the portrait is obvious and it extends to the jaw but not into the field before the portrait. A sharp, nicely detailed Wreath Cent in spite of the imperfections.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
