1793 S-11b R4 Wreath Cent with Lettered Edge Counterstamped "H. REES" Basal State-1. Slightly glossy steel brown and light chocolate. Mostly smooth with only microscopic roughness in protected areas. No marks or verdigris, just heavily worn. Most everything is worn away but you can see the upper part of the portrait and parts of LIBERTY. Portions of the edge lettering remain visible, including all of DOLLAR and the two leaves that follow, and that makes a positive attribution possible. Stamped "H. REES" in an arc across the upper part of the obverse. This is Brunk R-163. The stamp is attributed to H. Rees, a blacksmith in Philadelphia. Estimate Value $200 - UP
