Description
Mid-Grade 1793 Chain Cent, VF20
S-4, 'Periods' Variety
1793 Chain 1C Periods VF20 PCGS. CAC. S-4, B-5, High R.3.
The periods on the obverse, following both the date and LIBERTY,
are the hallmark of this die and they are both clearly visible.
Possibly engraved by Joseph Wright, as the design has a slightly
different treatment and the periods are reminiscent of his 1792
pattern quarter where this device was also employed. The deep brown
surfaces reflect an unusually sharp strike for this often-weak
issue. Several moderate-sized marks are seen on the obverse, the
most prominent of which are at the center of that side. A couple of
small rim bumps are also noted at the 5 to 6 o'clock positions on
the obverse. Still, a pleasing, mid-grade example of America's
first one cent issue. MRB VG8. Population: 4 in 20, 16 finer
(9/06).(Registry values: P5)Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 91341, GSID# 1217)
