This
eye-appealing 1793 Wreath Large Cent is a Vine and Bars
variety. The coin is fully lustrous, the colors and
luster show its originality. The surfaces are hard and
clean with few visible abrasion marks or other distractions.
Sufficient separation exists in the strands of Liberty’s
hair and among the elements of the wreath to confirm
the grade. The coin’s overall appearance is eye
catching and attractive, the way most collectors wished
their Wreath Cent looked.

Designed by Henry Voigt,
the 1793 Wreath Cent shows a profile of Liberty looking
to the right. Her hair is untied, hence the designation
Flowing Hair. LIBERTY is above the portrait and the
date is below. Under the truncation and above the date
is a sprig of three leaves. The reverse shows a wreath
of two olive branches that enclose the denomination
written as ONE CENT. The branches are tied at the bottom
with a ribbon. Between the ends of the ribbon and the
rim is the fraction 1/100. Around the wreath is the
inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The edge is decorated
with a vine and bars pattern.
