1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Wreath Reverse. S-9. Rarity-2. Vine and Bars Edge. VF-30 (PCGS). A wholesome mid grade example of this historic first year large cent issue from the young United States Mint. Bold antique copper-brown patina blankets satiny surfaces. Direct lighting calls forth vivid undertones of golden-apricot that provide further visual appeal. Scattered marks from commercial use are commensurate with the grade, as perhaps is a trace of light pitting in isolated areas, but in the absence of sizeable blemishes the in hand appearance is relatively smooth. The strike is well centered and also well executed, all major design elements retaining suitably bold detail for the assigned grade. This is a perennially popular one year type in the early copper series, and it is offered in here in a numismatically desirable grade that is sure to result in keen bidder interest. PCGS# 1347. NGC ID: 223H. From the Huber Collection.
