Description

1793 S-3, B-4 Cent, VF25
Chain, AMERICA

1793 1C Chain, AMERICA, S-3, B-4, Low R.3, VF25 PCGS. An examination of rarity ratings for the five 1793 Chain cent varieties suggests that about half of all surviving Chain cents are from the Sheldon-3 die pair. It is probably true, then, that half of the 1793 Chain cent mintage, about 18,000 coins, was also from this die pair. This delightful example features an attractive blend of tan, olive, and steel patina with smooth surfaces, save for slight roughness on Liberty's cheek and chin. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a pleasing representative of our nation's first copper coinage.
From The Carter Jackson Collection.
