Lot 4
1793 S-9 R2 Wreath Cent, Vine & Bars Edge. PCGS graded AU-53+. CAC Approved. Choice glossy medium chocolate brown with frosty lighter brown and tan in protected areas. This is a beautiful Wreath Cent, essentially flawless except for a shallow low spot at ER in AMERICA (caused by debris on the die). A glass reveals a few trivial contact marks, but that same glass also reveals generous traces of mint luster in the protected areas, especially on the reverse. M-LDS, Breen state VII, showing several die cracks on the reverse. The border beads are complete all the way around both sides. A premium Wreath Cent in every respect. Our grade is EF45. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 6 finer at PCGS for the variety, 1 in AU55, 2 in AU58, 2 in MS65, 1 in MS65+ (PCGS # 35459) .
Estimated Value $20,000-UP.
