1793 S-11b R4 Wreath Type with Lettered Edge F15. Sharpness EF45 or slightly better but the right two-thirds of the obverse is covered with light to moderate roughness and the right third of the reverse displays microscopic roughness. The remainder of the planchet is smooth, even choice. There is no trace of verdigris and the only sign of contact is a dull nick in the field behind the head. Frosty steel brown and chocolate fading to darker chocolate and olive brown in the roughened areas. Struck slightly off center to K-5 leaving some of the border beads slightly off the planchet but not affecting any of the legends or devices. The edge lettering is bold and the double leaf feature following DOLLAR is strong. A solid condition census example if not for the roughness.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
