Lot 162
1793 S-6 R3 Wreath Cent ANACS graded VF details, corroded with rim damage. Sharpness VF25 but lightly corroded on all but the highpoints, which are smooth. Traces of shallow reddish verdigris can be found in protected areas on the reverse, but it take a good glass to find any. Numerous very small pits are scattered over the obverse, mostly on the upper half. The only notable contact mark is a rim dent at UN in UNITED, but this is hard to see in the slab. The date and legends are complete and strong. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel with lighter chocolate toning on the devices. Possibly lightly cleaned and retoned. Looks better than it might sound, but it is far from perfect. Our grade is net VG8.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
