59 1793 S-5 R4 Wreath Cent with Large LIBERTY G5. Vine &
Bars Edge. Glossy medium chocolate brown. No corrosion or
verdigris, only minor contact marks consistent with the grade.
The notable ones are a few light rim bruises on the left side of
the obverse and a small planchet chip in the field off the end of
the lowest curl. The portrait and LIBERTY are strong but the
date is weak (although readable). The legends on the reverse
are clear except for weakness on OF and ONE CENT. Not perfect
but nice for the grade, especially for a 1793 Wreath Cent.

1793 S-6 WREATH CENT
60 1793 S-6 R3 Wreath Cent, Vine & Bars Edge PCGS
Genuine, XF Details, Damaged. Sharpness EF45 but
dark olive brown and chocolate under highly glossy sur-
faces thanks to a thin coating of lacquer. Traces of micro-
scopic roughness show in the field around the bust tip and
the fields on the reverse are a bit uneven. No contact
marks or verdigris. E-MDS, Breen state II, with an obvious
wave from the rim behind the portrait to the hair and jaw
but not into the field before the portrait. A very sharp
Wreath Cent that offers great eye appeal in spite of the
minor surfaces issues. Our grade is net VF25. The attri-
bution is noted on the PCGS label.

ine, VF Details, Damaged . Sharpness VF30 but expertly

verdigris or contact marks. This cent is imperfect but it offers
nice eye appeal. MDS, Breen state VI, with die cracks at RICA
and the fraction. The date and legends are all strong. Our
grade is net VG10. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
