1793 S-10 Wreath Cent with Vine & Bars Edge Electrotype Copy MS63. Lustrous chocolate and olive brown with traces of faded red on the obverse and 20% of the reverse showing frosty red. This is a gorgeous electrotype copy, essentially flawless with outstanding eye appeal. Unlike most electrotype early cents, this one has the Vine & Bars edge added. Perhaps the added edge device could fool a novice into thinking this is a genuine S-10, but the edge seam between the two copper shells is obvious. One of the finest electrotype copies your cataloger has seen. The model cent for this copy was the superb Clapp-ANS example of the variety. Estimate Value $2,000 - UP
