Lot Title:	1793 Wreath Lettered Edge, as described
Lot Number:	892
Description:	Bert Davies Collection. Sheldon-11c, lettered edge, single leaf after DOLLAR. Cataloger's grade [Fine/burnished]. Interesting for the type, the edge devices were applied prior to striking, with S-11b and S-11c struck contemporaneously such that they share die states. This is a very attractive coin, as it should be having started out with an apparently decent planchet that was then further smoothed, resulting in an appealing, clean appearance seen today. Dark ebony patina endows virtually the entire surface except the highpoints, where mahogany-brown touches off. A couple of trivial digs on top of the portrait and a minor rim bump at 10:00 of the reverse are absolutely the only detractions.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
