Bought this Wreath cent on ebay, thought it would sell for more.

Purchased for $518.99. S-10 is an R-4, out of 388 Wreaths that pull up on Heritage archives only 10 are S-10 (when you add S-10 to search parameter). Regardless of better variety I didn't think it was that bad and it would have gone higher. I don't have the coin yet but it appears there is also a full date (easier to tell when I viewed a larger photo). Causiously optomistic.

    You did well. Nice looking for a "problem" coin and you got it for a good price. image

    I saw that coin and was debating purchasing it, put it on my watch list but never got back to it. I think its pretty nice especially for the price.

    I think you did fine with this one.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
  • Im sorry,

    A slabbed 1793 cent, in a decent slab, for just over $500? Problem coin or not, not a bad buy there. Also, it looks to be a decent piece too.


    Nice pick-up!
