Description

1793 S-3, B-4 Cent, XF40
Chain, AMERICA

1793 1C Chain, AMERICA, S-3, B-4, Low R.3, XF40 PCGS. Breen Die State I with no evidence of clash marks on either side. Smooth olive and chocolate-brown surfaces exhibit trivial, inconsequential marks with no evidence of corrosion or other imperfections on either side, save for a slight area of planchet lamination at the upper obverse, above LIB. Slight verdigris is evident within the chain links on the reverse. Overall, this is an exceptional Chain cent with far above average surfaces. Although the Sheldon-3 is the most plentiful Chain cent, it is seldom found in high grades. The present piece ranks among the finest five per cent of surviving Sheldon-3 cents. Our EAC grade VF25.
