Wanna see the finest known 1793 Wreath Cent LE, in PCGS MS63?

Wanna see the finest known 1793 Wreath Cent LE, in PCGS MS63?

I just sold it (remember, we're not supposed to be trying to sell our stuff in here, there's another forum for that), but now that it's gone, I'm a little sad. A little glad but a little sad.

It is the finest known PCGS coin and the only uncirculated PCGS piece.

You can right click the image and save it to your virtual coin collection. ("Yeah, Jim-Bob, Ah picked up one of them there Reef Cents last night off a eeeBay, an' I'm a not tellin' the wife either.")

    An incredible link

    Wow! It is amazing to think of how it could have survived this long without damage or significant problems. I wonder what its provenance is? Did it glow when you held it in your hands??? image

    Can you give us a little history on the coin. How the heck does a coin from that period remain is such outstanding condition? Was it ever a part of the Eliasberg or Brand or Norweb collection? What's the story?

    I've seen this coin before. Like many lettered edge wreaths, there are planchet defects. I prefer my XF45 coin with a nearly perfect planchet (ex- Frankenfield, Norweb; CC#14 in Noyes).

    pmh1nic - I have no history on the coin. I could make up one. My carpel tunnel is pretty bad right now but it'll give me time to think up a story.
