Lot 253
1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Wreath reverse, vine and bars edge. . S-10. Del Bland graded Fine-15. Sharpness of Very Fine 25 but uniformly and lightly porous, otherwise completely free from any defects. Dark olive, slightly lighter on the hair and not unattractive.
This is a later die state than the other example in this sale, we note the "injured rim" is present across from Liberty's face, and the reverse has the rim break over NITE of UNITED. Aside from the light porosity, the coin is very well preserved and certain to generate excitement from true collectors who can appreciate the ample history offered from a well preserved Wreath Cent.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,250.
