Description

1793 Chain Cent, Choice VF
AMERICA, S-3, Key Early Type Coin

1793 1C Chain, AMERICA, S-3, B-4, Low R.3, VF35 PCGS. Breen Die State I without clash marks. The Chain cent was the first type of any denomination struck at the Philadelphia Mint. It was struck for only a few months before it was replaced by the Wreath cent. Chain cents with bold legends and problem-free surfaces are always in demand. This Choice VF example retains considerable hair detail. Liberty's eye and profile are sharp. The mahogany-brown, sea-green, pumpkin-gold, and lavender-gray surfaces are refreshingly unblemished. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Our EAC grade Fine 15.
From The Gibney Family Collection.
