Lot 1396


1793. Wreath reverse, vine
and bars edge, Sheldon-8, Rarity 3-. PCGS graded EF-45. A choice
piece for the grade, the obverse has lovely medium brown color, similar on the
reverse, but there are some darker toned areas in and through the wreath. Clean
surfaces for the grade, with only light scattered ticks from brief circulation.
While the gem mint state examples of this date will certainly create a stir in
the copper community, even a high grade coin like this deserves special
attention. Wanted by many people, and seldom available in any grade approaching
this select EF 45 example.
Boldly struck by the dies, with the usual light
reverse die crack, and well preserved.
Estimated Value $4,000-5,000.
