Description
1793 S-1, B-1 Chain Cent, Good 6
AMERI. Reverse
1793 1C Chain, AMERI., S-1, B-1, R.4, Good 6 PCGS. Despite a
considerable amount of planchet roughness on the obverse, both the
portrait and LIBERTY above are quite strong, with only the date
being made nearly illegible. As always, the reverse has survived
with noticeably sharper definition, especially in the center where
the chain and denomination are appear in bold relief. The 1793
Chain AMERI. Cent was the first business-strike coin produced in
the new Mint in Philadelphia. The word AMERICA was abbreviated to
AMERI. on the reverse. Since there is only one variety with the
abbreviated reverse, and since it is the first regular production
coin struck in the Mint, Chain AMERI. Cents are not only of
interest to large cent specialists and advanced type collectors,
but also serious collectors in all facets of American history. Our
EAC grade Good 4.Ex: FUN Signature (heritage, 1/2006), lot 538.
