1793 1C Chain, AMERI., BN MS (PCGS#1340)

June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: A Pleasing 1793 Chain AMERI. Cent 1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-1. Rarity-4. AMERI. VF-25 (PCGS). Surprisingly for such a scarce and eagerly sought variety as the 1793 Sheldon-1 cent, this is the second example of this iconic variety to cross your cataloger's desk for this sale. It is also a boldly defined VF coin, yet with warmer toning in even autumn-brown than the VF-30 in the preceding lot. Well defined overall, the reverse is expectably sharp, as is the word LIBERTY on the obverse. The date is a tad weak at left, but fully legible, and Liberty's portrait is fully outlined despite typical (for the grade) softness in the center. A few old, dull marks are noted for both sides, these being less numerous and far less noticeable in hand on the reverse. With a hard, frosty texture and pleasing appearance, this coin comes highly recommended for inclusion in a circulated type set or specialized early copper cabinet. Provenance: From the George Henry Carman Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) Greater New York Numismatic Convention Sale of May 1985, lot 103. PCGS# 1340. NGC ID: 223G.
