Lot Description

1793 Chain Cent. S-1. Rarity-4. AMERI. Poor-1 (PCGS). Deep golden-brown. The smooth surfaces are worn nearly to nothing with just a trace of Liberty's profile available on the obverse, though a soft but complete chain and denomination are seen on the reverse. Well-worn but not heavily marked, and a suitable filler example of America's first copper coinage.
