1793 S-11b R4 Wreath Cent with Lettered Edge and Dou
1793 S-11b R4 Wreath Cent with Lettered Edge and Double Leaf. PCGS graded AU-53. Frosty medium brown faintly mottled with darker steel brown and chocolate. Lustrous lighter brown toning faded down from mint color shows through in protected areas. The central part of each side is softly impressed, which is characteristic of the late die state, but the remainder of the designs are nicely struck. The softly struck centers show tiny planchet chips that didn’t completely strike out, but the fields outside the centers are choice. Very little actual wear is evident and the eye appeal is excellent overall, perhaps choice on the obverse. The only notable marks are a small planchet delamination at the dentils below the right side of the fraction and a faint, very thin disjointed planchet crease from the right edge of the second S in STATES down to the second A in AMERICA. LDS, Breen state IV. The heavy die clashmarks found earlier have been lapped off the die. Our grade is EF40, tied for CC#3. PCGS Population 1; The finest graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3441.
Estimated Value $20,000-UP.
