Large Cents
1793 1C Chain, AMERICA, S-3, B-4, Low R.3, Fine 12 PCGS. Breen Die State III. An attractive walnut-brown representative of the introductory cent design type. All legends are fully readable and the portrait is well outlined. Liberty's eye is clear and the surface show only moderate granularity. The rims are in excellent shape for the designated grade, with only one slight knock on the reverse at 1 o'clock. We note a few brief thin diagonal obverse marks on the cheekbone and near the bust tip. The high R in LIBERTY is a pick-up point for Sheldon-3, although others look for the narrow bust tip pointing at 5 o'clock. Our EAC grade VG7.
