Lot Description

1793 Wreath Cent. S-11C. Rarity-3-. Lettered Edge. Good-4 BN (NGC). Deep chocolate brown with lighter high points. Well-worn but free of serious marks caused by circulation. We note three vertical planchet flaws that resemble damage at first glance but were there in the planchet when struck; two of these are in the field behind the top of Liberty's head, the third at ER of LIBERTY. Another group of tiny flaws, as struck, is seen at the top of the reverse. All devices readable though some weakness is seen here and there. A more than suitable filler example of this popular issue.
