Keigwin's Large Cents 的钱币相册
S-2, R4 . Heritage Auctions FUN 2018: The first copper coins struck at the fledgling U.S. Mint in Philadelphia were the Chain cents, beginning with Sheldon-1, the famous Chain AMERI. cent. Using the same obverse die and a new reverse die with AMERICA spelled in full, the Sheldon-2 cents, including this example, were struck next. These were followed by a small number of Sheldon NC-1 cents, a large number of Sheldon-3 cents, and finally, the Sheldon-4 Periods cents that had a small period following the date and LIBERTY. In his Large Cent Encyclopedia, Walter Breen suggested that the first two varieties were delivered on March 1, 1793. Although there is no proof, current rarity ratings support his hypothesis. If current rarity ratings are proportional to the number of coins struck, the mintage for this variety was about 3,400 coins. Obverse diagnostics based on E relative to hairline. Fraction bar on reverse is high, distant from small numerals.
