Description

Fine Details 1793 Chain Cent, S-4 Die Marriage

1793 Chain 1C AMERICA--Damaged, Corroded--ANACS. Fine Details, Net VG8. S-4, High R.3. This coin is certainly not problem-free, but it is a respectable representative of this important one-year type from the 18th century. The date has been lost to circulation, as has much of the detail over the obverse portrait, but LIBERTY is sharp and the diagnostic period following the Y is readily evident. The reverse is sharper--as befits the type--with the central design element bold and all peripheral letters discernible. The mahogany-brown surfaces are a little rough in texture with scattered pinscratches and indentations.
From the Dr. Richard Tavernetti Collection.
