1793 1C Chain, S-3, BN MS (PCGS#35438)

February 2015 Americana Auction U.S Coins

详细说明: 1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-3. Rarity-3-. AMERICA, Without Periods. Good-4 (PCGS). A wholly satisfying example of this ever-popular issue, the numismatically iconic motifs remain nicely discernible across both sides. The surfaces are bathed in a mottling of sienna and espresso, lending to the remarkably pleasing in-hand viewing experience. Liberty's portrait on the obverse is left bold and unobstructed, with the date and LIBERTY pleasantly visible at the borders. Close inspection reveals an arcing pin-scratch at the back of Liberty's hair, though this goes unnoticed without magnification. The chain motif on the reverse is proudly sharp, with the surrounding legend still legible in most places. Continued scrutiny exposes ancient traversing abrasions across much of the reverse, but these are similarly benign without a glass. A small planchet flaw, as made, occupies the lower left field, contributing to the undeniable character of this charming first-year example. PCGS# 1341. NGC ID: 223F. Provenance: From the Highland Collection.
