1793 1C S-11c, BN MS (PCGS#35477)

June 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1793 Flowing Hair Cents. Wreath Reverse. S-11C. Rarity-3-. Lettered Edge. VG-10 (PCGS). Marbled orange-copper and gray-brown patina to both sides, the surfaces predominantly smooth in hand with considerable gloss to the texture. Closer inspection with a loupe reveals a microscopically rough texture with light pitting and fine granularity throughout. Apart from a few letters along the upper reverse border, the devices are well outlined and fully appreciable. A one-year type from the initial year of the regular issue large cent series, the 1793 Wreath Reverse is a strong performer at all levels of preservation. Provenance: From the Boston Old City Hall Collection. Acquired from Chris Victor-McCawley, 1992. Company tag with attribution notation included. PCGS# 1350. NGC ID: 223J.
