1793 S-3 R3- Chain AMERICA G5. The details suggest a slightly higher grade, especially on the obverse, but the right side of the reverse is covered with tiny planchet voids (as struck) that weaken STATES. The date, LIBERTY, and portrait are complete and easily readable. The legends and devices on the reverse are weaker but remain readable except for the first S in STATES, which is gone thanks to the tiny voids. Glossy steel and dark chocolate brown. There is a spot of very fine corrosion on the I in LIBERTY, a short mark on the jaw, and a few light rim bruises on both sides. Not perfect but overall rather nice for a Chain Cent at this grade level. MDS with clear die clashmarks on the obverse. Holmes #1797.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
Ex Heritage 9/96:5010-Chris McCawley 1/6/97-Dan Holmes "Fun Set".


 
Realized $5,520
