- The first cent struck for circulation by the United States mint. A very important and highly collectible type coin! The Chain cents were struck early in 1793, among the first coins coined in the first federal mint. A total of 36,103 were struck between February 27 and March 12, utilizing five distinct die pairings, all of which are scarce to rare, Sheldon called it not collectible. The present coin is a wonderful collector grade S-3. While as a Rarity-3, the S-3 is the most "common" of the Chain cent varieties. While this example is lower grade, extensively circulated to the Fine range, the surfaces are remarkably smooth, and free of any kind of serious marks. The copper planchet was of good, hard metal before striking without fissures or imperfections that would attract environmental damage. The surfaces are devoid of all but the most insignificant contact marks from its time in early federal commerce. All the details are fully visible, though there are a few areas of weakness from the strike, which is normal. The central portions of the design: Henry Voigt's flowing haired portrait of Liberty and the chain links are all bold. As a coin with so much history, collectors have been drawn to the issue since the earliest days of coin collecting in the United States. Today, most collectors can only dream of owning one of the low grade and/or damaged pieces, which even barely identifiable, coins still command low four figure prices. A pleasing and generally problem free, though heavily circulated coin like this will see very strong bidding from collectors with good taste. PCGS 34, NGC 6, CAC 3. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $22,200 in September 2020. Now, nearly two years later, the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $27,500 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $26,400. CAC has approved just 3 in the entire VF range (all VF25, and none have sold in auction), so if you are looking for a great CAC approved example that won't cost $50,000 or more, this is your coin! Good luck Cert. Number 14920867 PCGS # 1341
