1793

S-3 - S-8

LOT 4

1793 S-4 R3 Chain AMERICA with Periods VG7 Attractive slightly glossy olive brown with lighter brown toning on the devices. The surfaces are nice but a glass reveals uniform extremely faint granularity covering the fields and protected areas. No marks or verdigris. The only notable defect is a weak date caused by an obverse die that was misaligned to K-6. The upper half of the date remains visible and it is readable in spite of the weakness. The legends are complete and clear. The period following the date is not visible due to the centering problem but the one following LIBERTY is strong. EDS, Breen state I, before any visible die cracks at the lowest curl. $12,000

LOT 5

1793 S-5 R4 Wreath Cent with Vine & Bars Edge and Large LIBERTY G6+ Glossy light chocolate and medium brown. The surfaces are smooth and this cent has excellent eye appeal for the grade, just even wear. No marks other than a few parallel planchet striations below the N in CENT, as struck. The lower half of the date is weak but the remainder is easily readable. The legends are complete and strong, and the reverse grades several points higher than the obverse. EDS, Breen state I, before any crumbling on the obverse rim. The Large LIBERTY feature is bold. $5,750
