Description
1793 S-1, B-1 Cent, Fine 15
Philadelphia Mint's First Coin
1793 1C Chain, AMERI., S-1, B-1, R.4, Fine 15 PCGS.
Following Congressional approval of the Mint Act of April 1792, a
few patterns were struck, along with a quantity of 1792 half dismes
that were likely intended for circulation. However, the half dismes
were apparently not struck inside the walls of the new Mint
building, and the Chain AMERI. cent therefore holds the distinction
of the Mint's first coin produced for circulation at the
Philadelphia Mint. This example, despite exhibiting myriad
circulation marks, has pleasing chocolate-brown and tan surfaces
with no corrosion. Trivial rim bumps are inconsequential. The S-1
Chain AMERI. cent is arguably the most historic emission during the
David Rittenhouse administration. Our EAC grade VG7.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 223G, Variety PCGS# 35432, Base PCGS# 1340, Greysheet# 76717)
