The incredible SP67 is from the fabulous large cent collection of the late Ted Naftzger, the greatest large cent collection of all-time by far. This amazing coin has semi-prooflike surfaces and is virtually perfect. Large cent affcianados refer to this amazing specimen as "THE coin."

Chain cents were the first mass produced, regular issue coins struck at the fledgling US Mint. A total of 36,103 were coined from February 27 to March 12, 1793. The Liberty Head obverse and Chain reverse were severely criticized by many observers of the day. The acute need for a standard coinage, however, assured wide circulation through all fifteen States at the time. Chain cents can exist in high Mint State grades, perhaps saved for posterity as first year issues. But most survivors are lower grade. In the lowest grades, the date and legends are sometimes worn to the point where little more than the Chain and some of the letters of "ONE CENT" within it are distinguishable. This makes variety attribution extremely difficult, if not impossible, in cases where just a shadow of the Chain exists.Quickfinder Notes: AMERICA reverse varieties include Sheldon numbers 2, NC-1, 3 and 4. Well worn can be attributed even if most or all of the letters of AMERICA are missing. The baseline "C" in "CENT" will be a little ABOVE the baseline of the adjacent E. If the first A in AMERICA is distinguishable, it will be in the 7:30 position. On the other reverse die used on Chain cents, the Sheldon 1, "AMERI.", the baseline of the C in CENT is BELOW the baseline of the adjacent E. If the A of AMERI is distinguishable, it will be in the 8:00 position.
