- 1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Wreath Reverse. S-5. Rarity-4. Vine and Bars Edge. VG-8 (PCGS).
Boldly toned surfaces in deep olive-copper. All major design elements are more or less fully outlined, although the obverse border is into the top of the word LIBERTY and the bottom of the date due to wear. The central design elements are quite bold for the grade. The reverse is smooth in hand with no marks or other blemishes of note. The obverse, however, is flawed with planchet laminations at the lower right border and, more significantly, through the center of Liberty's portrait. This very scarce S-5 vine and bars variety is identifiable by it being the only large LIBERTY among the Wreath cents; and also, as stated in Walter Breen's Encyclopedia, "The date wears down faster than other details." With a clear date, plenty of other definition and originally preserved surfaces, this is a relatively pleasing example that will win many adherents among early copper enthusiasts.
PCGS# 1347. NGC ID: 223H.
