Description
1793 S-1, B-1 Chain AMERI. Cent, VF20
The Philadelphia Mint's First Cent
1793 1C Chain, AMERI., S-1, B-1, R.4, VF20 PCGS. The 1793
Chain AMERI. cent was the first coin produced in the new Mint in
Philadelphia. The word AMERICA was abbreviated to AMERI. on the
reverse, and only this single variety was struck before a new
reverse die was engraved with AMERICA spelled in full. Since there
is only one variety with the abbreviated reverse, and since it is
the first regular production coin struck in the Mint, Chain AMERI.
cents are of interest to serious collectors in all grades (and
usually they are found in fairly low grade). The obverse is well
detailed for the grade with individual hair strands visible within
the recesses. The all-important reverse is well defined, as always
on Chain cents, with strong details on the individual links of the
chain. The peripheral devices are also well defined. Deep, even
brown patina covers both sides. It is easily identifiable by a
small rim nick over the R in LIBERTY, a larger rim bump at 3
o'clock, and a slight indentation on the rim over the TE in UNITED.
An important coin for the serious copper collector. Our EAC grade
