Lot 97
1793 S-11c R3- Wreath Cent with Lettered Edge ANACS graded VG8 Obverse Lamination. Variety with a Single Leaf on the edge following DOLLAR. Glossy light chocolate brown and olive with traces of golden tan on the obverse thanks to a shallow planchet lamination across the neck into the adjacent hair and field. The highpoints of the devices are a slightly lighter shade of steel brown suggesting this piece may have been very lightly cleaned. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive. The only notable contact mark is a minor rim bruise at CA in AMERICA. The date is weak but easily readable and the legends are complete except for weakness on a few letters outside the wreath. M-LDS, Breen state III, with die clashmarks on the obverse. The ANACS holder identifies this as the Single Leaf following DOLLAR edge variety, but that can't be verified in the slab. Our grade is VG7. The attribution is noted on the ANACS label. Estimate Value $2,750 - UP
