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 com-
plete 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.
