1793 S-5 R4 Wreath Cent Counterstamped "BEAR" Fair-2. Slightly glossy medium chocolate and darker olive brown. The surfaces are mostly smooth but there are areas of very fine roughness on both sides. The date and leaf sprig above it were strongly reengraved and "BEAR" was stamped in large letters across the obverse using individual letter punches. The portrait, LIBERTY, and about 20% of the devices on the reverse are still clear. This is the Brunk B-454 counterstamp. Estimate Value $500 - UP
