1793 1C Wreath Cent--Vine and Bars--MS64 Brown PCGS.
S-10, R.4. The Sheldon-10 variety is sometimes called the Injured Rim variety due to the die flaw at 3 o'clock on the obverse. This variety has been known since at least the late 1860s, and was depicted on the famous "Levick Plate" published in the
American Journal of Numismatics
in 1869. The first Wreath cents were coined in early April 1793 with the final coins struck in July. Based on the emission sequence for these coins, it is likely that this variety was produced in the middle of April. Walter Breen believed that the production date for this variety was April 13, and that the total mintage was approximately 3,000 coins.
This example is from Breen's Die State I, with a narrow rim break over UNITE clearly visible. All of the obverse beading at the die flaw is clearly visible. The strike was very nicely centered on the planchet with a wide border outside the beads on each side. Most details are sharply defined although the upper locks of hair near Liberty's forehead are rather bluntly struck. The reverse has similar weakness on the ribbon bow and ribbon knot exactly opposing the weak obverse details. Both surfaces have smooth and satiny light brown luster with tinges of original mint red still visible on the reverse. There are very few 1793 large cents with even a trace of the original mint color. This specimen is solidly in the Condition Census and is either the second or third finest known. In Walter Breen's
Large Cent Encyclopedia,
Del Bland recorded this as the second finest known.

1793 1C Wreath Cent--Vine and Bars--MS64 Brown PCGS.
S-9, B-12, R.2. This is easily the most plentiful of all 1793 Wreath Cents, and this is true in all grades. This is an early die state, and is a top-quality example for the variety. It is recorded as the tenth best in the Noyes Census, and tied with five others for fifth finest according to Del Bland.
This is the Breen
Large Cent Encyclopedia
plate coin, and the reverse was illustrated in the 1879 monograph by Ed. Frossard. It also has a substantially continuous pedigree dating back over 130 years.
All of the Wreath Cents, a total of 63,353 coins, were produced in April and July 1793. Nearly all were coin in April, after which equipment failure prevented more production during May and June, as parts were repaired or replaced. The final 12,000 coins were produced in July.
The Wreath Cent is clearly the most recognized and the most popular of the 1793 coinage issues. Among the three large cent designs, it is also the most plentiful in Mint State grades. For the collector who simply wants a single example of our first copper coinage, this is an excellent candidate. Both sides have splendid olive-brown color with a few small splashes of steel and maroon patina. The surfaces have satiny luster throughout. Both sides have numerous tiny planchet defects or fissures.
