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

The Norweb Collection

详细说明: 1793 S-3. Rarity-3-. Chain AMERICA. G-6 (PCGS). Chocolate brown with some red peeking through on the obverse, perhaps a sign of recoloring or simply raw copper beneath the somewhat grainy texture. Overall detail finer than G-06, especially on the reverse where F-12 or so is easily in order if judged simply by sharpness of design details; of course, nothing is ever so cut and dry in the world of America's early coppers. Old obverse dig near Liberty's chin, old rim scrapes at 5:00, top of obverse rim to tops of ERTY, reverse without traces of underlying red, old dig between OF and following A, rim to tops of OF AM, sharpness strong for the grade as noted. One of four varieties of our nation's first cent design type with 15 reverse chain links representing the states of the Union at the time. Always popular and desirable in all grades—you could do far worse than to capture this more-than-adequate low-grade Chain America cent for your collection. Provenance: From the Rocky Mountain Collection.
