Lot 16
1793 S-10 R4 Wreath Cent. VF-30. Very attractive glossy steel brown and chocolate. The surfaces are smooth, completely free of corrosion or planchet flaws. The only defects are some very light contact marks scattered about the obverse, including a tiny nick on the jawline, a thin nick hidden in the hair under IB in LIBERTY, and a very small rim nick over that I. EDS, Breen state I. The die flaw at the border beads right of the nose tip is obvious, but the beading is complete. The always-present thin rim cud break over UNITE is clear. Excellent eye appeal for the grade, very close to choice. DWH #2693.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
