1813 Sheldon-293, Rarity 2. MS-63 Brown. Expertly cleaned and retoned with hints of blue around the devices and light to medium brown in color. The strike is typical of the year, flat upper stars on the obverse, but with most of the definition on Liberty's curls. As a date, 1813 is a difficult coin to find on a decent planchet, most come in poor condition, not so here, this is certainly one of the better coins known of the date. On the reverse, the coin is well balanced in strike, color and surfaces. Examination with a glass finds few faults, and many attributes, which will keep the collectors hands held high when this one crosses the auction block.
Estimated Value $5,000-6,000.
