1793 S-1, B-1 Cent, VF Details
Chain AMERI.

1793 1C Chain, AMERI., S-1, B-1, R.4 -- Environmental Damage -- PCGS Genuine. VF Details. The Chain Ameri. cent is America's historic first large cent, struck in March 1793. This coinage issue began an unprecedented run of one cent pieces that display every date through 2023 with one exception in 1815. No other coinage denomination comes even close to that nearly uninterrupted 230-year production run. Both sides of this nicely detailed example have evenly distributed porosity that few collectors will find objectionable. It is an attractive olive-brown example that has light golden-brown on the obverse high points. The date, LIBERTY, chain, and reverse letters are each fully and sharply visible. This is an important opportunity to acquire what many consider the most important coinage issue in American numismatic history.
