What do you think this 1793 Wreath Cent is worth?

I bid $1800 on it, but it shows up as not sold

Besides its problems, it looks in great shape

I think it's a great coin, I have no idea how much one is worth though.

More than I have to spend.

A XF went for $3100 & change at the Medio collection auction by ANR in June.

Very nice coin!

Very cool coin, but how on earth did it get in a PCGS holder with that damage at K-4 on the reverse? I know early copper gets a bit of a pass, but that one looks like it was used to tip the bellman at the Bates Motel.

I would pay $4,000 for that particular coin. I am surprised that it was slabbed as an EF.......should be netted to VF. Tough sale with the damage.

Incorrectly labeled by PCGS as Lettered Edge. Attractive deep reddish brown toning. There are fairly heavy, age-old gouges in the left obverse field and on Liberty's neck, with another small cut at about 5 o'clock inside the reverse rim. Ancient scuffing obliterates the rim beading at around 5 o'clock on the obverse and the final A in AMERICA. While these blemishes are significant, they are well concealed by the attractive natural toning, and are not notably detracting, as such. This important Sheldon variety is the so-called 'Injured Rim' obverse, characterized by a small sunken area opposite Liberty's nose and mouth. There is a period after A in AMERICA, and as such, Sheldon-10 is the only reverse with that distinction among 'Wreath' reverse cents. It is an important type, struck only from April to July, 1793, with a mintage of just 63, 353 pieces comprising 11 different die combinations. The offered example is close to Condition Census.

That's their story and they are sticking to it
