  ***Auction Highlight*** 1793 Wreath Vine & Bars S-10 R-4 Flowing Hair large cent 1c Graded au58+ By SEGS.. This 1793 Wreath cent offers superior quality and eye appeal for this design from the first year of regular issue U.S. Mint coinage The S-10 Wreath cent is an elusive variety in higher grades, and seldom encountered with nice surfaces. While Chain cents often attract the most interest for their position as the first made, there is not a collector alive who would assert that Chain cents are more beautiful than their Wreath reverse counterparts. Breen boldly suggested that the elegance of the Wreath cents "was Director David Rittenhouse's answer to the newspaper criticisms" lodged against the Chain cent. Though no evidence exists to support this, the fact remains that the Wreaths represented a substantial step up in both design artistry and engraving execution. The details of this fine style design are lost with even light wear, making high grade Wreath cents such as this the crown princes of the early copper world. The Noyes Census of the 12 best examples reaches down to VF25, and eight of those 12 have Average or below average surfaces A Key Date's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
