1793 1C Flowing Hair Wreath Cent, Vine and Bars (S-8) PCGS AU50BN (CAC Gold)

This is the ONLY United States 1793-dated Flowing Hair Large Cent that has earned the prestigious GOLD CAC. (There are (5) 1794-dated and (1) 1795-dated).  

A finely detailed example of this classic one-year type. Golden light brown with some areas of maroon patina. Some very light granularity is seen in areas when carefully examined under a glass, planchet void left of date barely affects the top of the second T in STATES on the reverse, some flecks of raised verdigris in lower hair strands, above LIBERTY, and among the reverse devices. Right of STATES some very faint hairlines may be seen where a verdigris fleck was once more visible. Late die state, as Breen state III, with heavy clashing in front of Liberty's face and a crack within her hair. Very few type collections include a Wreath cent as sharp as this one!  

In our opinion, the present example is squarely in the AU58 class and arguably Mint State.
