Description
1793 S-2 Cent, XF Details
Abrasion-Free AMERICA Variety
1793 1C Chain, AMERICA, S-2, B-2, High R.4 -- Environmental
Damage -- PCGS Genuine. XF Details. Chocolate-brown and
steel-blue coloration blankets moderately porous obverse surfaces
that lead to some central weakness. All details on the reverse are
bold. A couple of microscopic pinpricks right of the second S in
STATES are mentioned for completeness, and have long since blended
into the toning. There are five die marriages of the Chain Cent
type, one of which, the NC-1, is known by two examples. After that,
the present S-2 is the scarcest, at High R.4. It pairs the only
AMERICA reverse with the obverse of the AMERI. variety, identified
by the widest date of the year, as well as the wide ER and close BE
in LIBERTY. Despite its porosity, the present example's high
sharpness grade, attractive color, and lack of abrasions make it an
ideal candidate for the collector seeking a single example of
America's first cent for their collection. Among the 100
Greatest U.S. Coins (#21 in 6th edition).
