Sharp 1793 Chain Cent

Sheldon-4 Variety With Periods

1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-4, B-5. Rarity-3. AMERICA, With Periods. EF Details--Cleaned (PCGS).

An appealing coin for the assigned grade with warm, even, medium brown color. Indeed, both sides have retoned nicely, although the texture is a tad glossy, and there are also pinkish-gold undertones and faint hairlines that confirm the PCGS qualifier. Nicely detailed overall, there is even plenty of finer definition remaining within Liberty's hair. Breen Die State III.

Exactly who discovered this die pairing is unknown, with credit perhaps due to Joseph Mickley, Edward Cogan or Dr. Montroville W. Dickeson. Regardless, this variety was known by the late 1850s, when numismatics as a hobby in the United States experienced its first big surge in popularity. Survivors remain popular for both type and variety purposes, and this more affordable EF is sharper than most. It is sure to find many eager buyers in today's highly competitive numismatic market.
