Description
1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Wreath Reverse. S-8, B-13. Rarity-3. Vine and Bars Edge. Good-4 (PCGS).
Quite nice in a well circulated survivor of this historic first year large cent issue. The surfaces are generally medium copper-brown with a hint of deep olive, and they are well composed for the grade apart from a few light and moderate scratches over and behind Liberty's head. A swirl of darker color at 5 o'clock on the reverse border is associated with light surface scale. Some of the peripheral design elements have been lost to wear, especially on the reverse, but the date is fully legible, Liberty's portrait is well outlined, and more than half of the wreath on the reverse is bold. A pleasing piece at the Good grade level with much to recommend it to both type collectors and early copper enthusiasts.
PCGS# 1347. NGC ID: 223H.
From the Senator Platt Family Collection, started prior to 1870.
