1793 Chain Cent, VF35
S-3, AMERICA

1793 1C Chain, AMERICA, S-3, B-4, Low R.3, VF35 PCGS. Breen Die State III. The "Leaning R" variety, which shows the R in LIBERTY high and tilted relative to the adjacent letter E. At PCGS, the median grade for the issue is VG10, but the present lot is 25 points finer with a bold date and LIBERTY. Although the hair near the ear is worn, the tresses near the left border of the portrait are well defined. Clash marks are obvious near the profile and below the bust truncation. Portions of AMERICA are faint. A small flan void (as made) is seen west of the ear, but there are no post-strike detractions. Toned deep lavender-brown. Ranked #15 on the List of 100 Greatest US Coins.
From The Schwenk Family 100 Greatest Coins Collection.
