1793 S-11c R3- Wreath Cent with Lettered Edge Counterstamped "ROWLAND/PHILADA" Basal State-1. Slightly glossy medium steel brown and chocolate with darker chocolate in protected areas. Reasonably smooth showing minor roughness and a few specks of dark scale. No notable marks. The date is gone but most of the sprig and portrait remain visible along with portions of LIBERTY. The reverse is slick except for the stamps. About half of the edge letters remain visible including the single leaf following DOLLAR, and this enables a positive attribution. There are three eagles on the upper half of the reverse with "ROWLAND" across the center and "PHILADA" below in incuse letters. The final "A" in PHILADA is smaller and raised up a bit to indicate an abbreviation. This stamp is Brunk R-577. Estimate Value $400 - UP
