1793 S-7 R6- Wreath Large Cent Vine & Bars Edge PCGS AG New Cumberland Collection

NCC-007: 1793 S-7 Wreath Cent, Vine and Bars Edge, R6-, PCGS AG Detail, EAC FR2.  PCGS AG Detail Environmental Damage, which presents as light even roughness which gives the coin a very dark brown color and slightly mushy surfaces.  Additionally, there are a few tiny chips out of the obverse rim at K10.  LIBERTY is faintly visible and the portrait is fully-outlined, but the date is worn smooth.  Fortunately, the diagnostic unique leaf sprig remains bold, which makes it quite easy to attribute this as the rare S-7 variety.  Comes with Tom Reynolds’ yellow envelope graded G6/AG3 net AG3+, but my EAC grade is slightly lower at AG3+ net FR2.  Unrecorded in Numistudy V6 but compares quite evenly with the other coins that Noyes considers to be FR2.  PCGS AG Detail Environmental Damage S-7 Vine and Bars Edge New Cumberland Collection #35453.97/47954237.  Ex-Tom Reynolds as G6/AG3 net AG3+; Shawn A.
