1793 S-9 R2 Wreath Cent, Vine & Bars Edge PCGS graded VF35. Very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate with a spot of reddish brown toning at the right foot of the 1 in the date and three more reddish brown spots at TED in UNITED. The spots contain traces of extremely fine roughness but the remainder of the planchet is perfectly smooth. The only other marks of any significance are a small rim bruise right of the bust tip and a half dozen barely visible hairline scratches at UNITE. E-MDS, Breen state II, with a fine die crack through CA to the right wreath stem. The date and legends are all bold. Sharply struck with excellent eye appeal in spite of the few spots. This obverse die saw the most usage of any of the 1793-dated dies producing three varieties (S-8, S-9, and NC-4). Our grade is VF20. The attribution and Dr. Cadden Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #35459. Estimated Value $9,000 - UP
