1793 Wreath, Vine & Bars Large Cent NGC XF45

Sirhc

After the public outcry over the Chain design, Mint Director David Rittenhouse ordered the preparation of new designs, resulting in the Wreath cents, a slight improvement over the Chain cents. Production began in early April and continued until the end of that month, picking up again in early July. Coinage was halted after the production of 63,353 Wreath cents. In-hand, this example is somewhat lighter than seen on our images.

Listed at $26,400 in the CDN CPG and $25,000 (in XF 40) in the NGC price guide.

1793 Vine and Bars Wreath Cent PCGS/CAC AU55

Sirhc

A “Gemmy” AU From 93

The Mint’s second attempt at a design for the large cent was Adam Eckfeldt’s Wreath type. The obverse is not unlike that of the 1793 Chain cent, although Liberty’s portrait is more refined and a beaded border has been added. The reverse depicts the same statutory inscriptions as the Chain cent, although a wreath has replaced the chain as the central device. Breen believes that curious citizens saved a limited number of Wreath cents as novelties, but the extant population is probably no more than 6-7% of the 63,353 pieces produced. The one offered here is as pleasing as you’re likely to find, regardless of grade.
