Description
1793 Chain AMERI Cent, S-1, B-1, VF25
First U.S. Mint Coinage
1793 Chain 1C AMERI. VF25 PCGS. S-1, B-1, R.4. The Chain
cents were the first coins struck at the U.S. Mint. We know this
since they carry the same Vine and Bars edge found on the early
Wreath cents. Later Wreath cents have a Lettered edge, like the
Liberty Cap cents struck from 1793 to 1795. We also know the order
that the five varieties of Chain cents were minted through the
study of die states. Known as the emission sequence, the order of
striking shows that the Chain AMERI cents were the first pieces
minted in early March 1793, the first coins struck in the
Philadelphia Mint building.This piece represents Breen Die State V, with a die crack through the tops of TATE. The surfaces are medium olive with splashes of darker steel. The obverse has minor imperfections including a small mark at the lips and an old, short scratch from the chin. The reverse has a number of blemishes. Among those are several small nicks, a planchet defect at the first S, and a few modest rim bruises. MRB Fine 12.(Registry values: P5)
