Lot 127
1793 S-3 R3- Chain AMERICA VG8. Sharpness F12, even better on the reverse, but there are numerous rim bruises around both sides, and a few of those have been very lightly smoothed to minimize their impact. In addition there are some light contact marks scattered over both sides, including a dull nick on the end of the chin and a short scratch through the I in LIBERTY. A shallow planchet chip out of the throat is a good identifying mark. No roughness or verdigris. Nicely recolored glossy medium chocolate brown. The date and legends are complete and clear. M-LDS, Breen state III early. Clear die clashmarks show along the profile and under the truncation. Not perfect but certainly a decent example of our very popular Chain AMERICA cent.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
