1793 "AMERICA". 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... |

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... |

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... |

1793 "AMERICA". NCS VF detail.

1793 "AMERICA". PCI VF-25.
