- Classic VF 1793 Chain Cent Sheldon-2 1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-2. Rarity-4+. AMERICA, No Periods. VF-25 BN (NGC). The glossy copper-rose surfaces of this Chain cent display a splash of warmer gray-brown in the center of the reverse. The sharpest features are the chain motif and denominations ONE CENT and 1/100, as usual for the type, but the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the word LIBERTY are also suitably bold for the assigned grade. Liberty's portrait is a bit soft, yet fully outlined, and the date is legible despite lack of detail at the base of all four digits. The appearance is quite smooth for a mid-grade Chain cent, with just a couple of shallow edge bumps at 10 o'clock on the obverse and wispy grazes in the right obverse and reverse fields and in the center of the reverse. It is a pleasing VF, a desirable circulated example of this scarce die marriage of the United States Mint's first large cent issue. PCGS# 1341. NGC ID: 223F.
