Description
1793 Chain Cent, XF Details
AMERI., Sheldon-1
Famous Introductory Cent Variety
1793 1C Chain, AMERI., S-1, B-1, R.4 -- Environmental Damage --
NGC Details. XF. A few patterns may have preceded it, but the
Sheldon-1 cent is the first die marriage struck at the U.S. Mint
for commerce. It is also the die variety that abbreviates AMERICA
as AMERI. This was presumably done for aesthetic reasons, to
balance UNITED and STATES on the reverse peripheral legend layout.
S-1 is also noted for its wide date. Low grade examples can be
attributed by the E in ONE, which is fairly distant from the chain.
The present example is much sharper than the typical Chain cent,
since fine details of Liberty's hair are evident. As is the case
for most Chain cents, the surfaces are deep brown and shows signs
of granularity, though to a lesser degree than implied by the NGC
designation. The minor to moderate marks are inoffensive, though we
note slender abrasions above the C in CENT and below the D in
UNITED. Our EAC grade VF20.
