1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-3, B-4. Rarity-3-. AMERICA

1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-3, B-4. Rarity-3-. AMERICA, Without Periods. VF Details--Repaired (PCGS). Breen Die State II. Eminently collectible quality for this historically significant, one-year design type in the United States Mint's large cent series. Indeed, this piece presents remarkably well for the assigned grade, the surfaces smooth in hand with no sizeable marks or other blemishes. Curiously glossy in texture, however, closer inspection reveals evidence for smoothing/tooling that helps to explain the PCGS qualifier. All major design elements are boldly to sharply defined and the color, while somewhat dark, is still quite handsome in deep steely copper-rose and ebony. One could do considerably worse than this for a Chain cent in a certified VF Details older, and not much better, which confirms this as a highly desirable example for budget-minded type purposes. Sheldon-3 is the popular Leaning R variety of the issue with the letter R in LIBERTY large and leaning to the right. Both the letters in LIBERTY and the digits in the date are irregular in size and position. This is the only use of this obverse die. On the reverse, the word AMERICA in the legend is spelled out in full, as opposed to abbreviated as AMERI. as on the reverse of the Sheldon-1 variety. The fraction bar in the denomination 1/100 is high and touching the base of the numerator 1, the digits in the denomination are evenly spaced, but both 0s are low. The letters MER in AMERICA are high. This is the workhorse reverse of the 1793 Chain cent issue, and it was also used in the S-2, S-4 and NC-1 pairings. Along with S-2 and NC-1, Sheldon-3 corresponds to the AMERICA, Without Periods Guide Book variety of the 1793 Chain cent. This variety is not rare in an absolute sense, with an estimated 401 to 500 coins extant in all grades, but circulated specimens of all stripes enjoy strong demand from both type collectors and early copper enthusiasts.
