1793 "AMERICA". NGC Good details/environmental damage. 1793 "AMERICA". NGC Good details/environmental damage.
Lot Title: 1793 "AMERICA". NGC Good details/environmental damage.
Description: The date is somewhat faded, yet under most lighting conditions, it can be easily read, and LIBERTY is certainly legible from all viewing angles, with each letter very close to being complete. As always, the chain is strong on the reverse, with "UNITED S" the only unreadable part of USofA. NGC's "environmental damage" disclaimer almost seems out of place, since the surface is actually nicer than that of many coins seen in straight-graded slabs, but use of a loupe brings out the slightly spongy microporosity responsible for the caveat. The obverse rim has avoided contact, but a couple of unimportant ticks can be seen on the reverse rim. (PCGS# 001341)

1793 "AMERICA" (S-3, R.3) NGC Good Details/environmental damage.

1793 "AMERICA". Fair-2.
Coordinating the position of ONE in relation to the chains, the reverse is likely "C" -- an "AMERICA" type. This is a basal state coin, with no date and hardly an obverse to speak of, thus positive...
101The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$3,700.00
1793 "AMERICA" (S-4, R-4). Good.
The planchet is much, much nicer than it has any right to be for a chain cent with so much wear. Olive-tan patina is delicately layered over remarkably smooth surfaces that display practically no...
188The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$16,000.00
1793 "AMERICA" (S-3, R-3-). ANACS XF-40 details, reengraved-burnished.
Although the smoothing of the surfaces that is associated with "burnishing" of early copper is not immediately apparent per the ANACS disclaimer, one look at Liberty's hair tresses with a loupe...
422The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$24,750.00
1793 (S-2) Chain cent, ANACS AU-50, corroded
S-2 (Sheldon 2), a high R.4 variety, is the rarest collectable Chain cent of the five known die marriages, the only rarer being NC-1 (non-collectable 1), for which only three examples exist. As...
203The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$2,000.00
1793 Chain Cent "AMERICA". AG-3.
This chain is on too nice of a planchet to be only an About Good. How did this coin avoid major damage with all the years of circulation it must have seen? The obverse sports a full outline, a...
204The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$6,250.00
1793 Chain Cent "AMERICA", Periods Variety, S-4, R-3 . ANACS F-12...
This piece has a rather pleasing chocolate brown quality over surfaces which have a mild, uniformly distributed porous aspect. Both the date and "LIBERTY" are followed by a period, the only chain...
258The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$2,900.00
1793 Chain "AMERICA". About Good.
It goes without saying that the Chain Cent was the first U.S. cent produced at our government's own mint. It is always difficult to locate presentable examples, and in years past, well-intentioned...
259The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$1,400.00
1793 Chain Cent "AMERICA". ANACS Fair 2 Details, Corroded, Damaged.
Though not in the best of grades, this coin is still an acceptable example of the type with almost all the chain detail being present and most of the reverse legend. Unfortunately, little detail...
244The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$1,325.00
1793 S-3, R-3-, Chain "AMERICA". FAIR-2.
Chocolate brown surfaces with enough of the major designs discernible enough to be able to accurately ascribe this variety. The old nicks, bumps, and porosity observed are what one would expect for...
245The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$7,250.00
1793 "AMERICA". NCS VF detail.
This is a nice coin despite being mildly corroded. The surfaces have not been tampered with, and the coin is wholly original. A few patches of light green cling to the legend on the reverse, and a...
246The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$8,750.00
1793 "AMERICA". PCI VF-25.
This coin is holdered as Porous VF-25. This first Federal Cent was very well struck at the start of its life, however it came in contact with moisture somewhere in its travels. The result is an...
