Description

Scarce S-2 1793 Chain Cent

1793 Chain 1C AMERICA XF45 NGC. VF20 EAC. S-2, Die State II, R.4. This variety is actually scarcer than the S-1 variety, but of course, not nearly as popular. Only 4,850 pieces are believed to have been struck from the March 1 delivery. This example is among the top couple dozen survivors for the variety, a fully acceptable example for the advanced cent collector. Two shallow scratches are seen on the obverse and there is a small rim bump at 7 o'clock. A couple of shallow planchet flaws are also located in the right obverse field, as coined. The color is a glossy light brown with blue intermixed, forming a desirable woodgrain pattern.
