LOT 12 1793 S-11b R4 Wreath Cent with Lettered Edge G4 Variety with two leaves following DOLLAR. Sharpness VG10 or better with fine to moderate roughness covering most of the planchet while the highpoints are smooth. No verdigris or contact marks but the field before the portrait has been lightly burnished to remove roughness. Slightly glossy chocolate brown and steel with lighter brown toning on the highpoints. The date is weakened by the roughness but it is readable and the legends are complete. The double leaf feature following DOLLAR is strong. LDS, Breen state IV. $3,500
