1793 Sheldon 1 (R-4). Chain AMERI.
|
F-12 |
$4,800.00
|
Fine-12 in terms of wear but the coin has areas of corrosion and a few pits and has been tooled in an effort to enhance its appearance. There is a tiny pin scratch behind the head. The legends and the date are clear and the chain is quite strongly detailed. The obverse color is a dark ebony while the reverse is a medium brown. This coin still has a respectable appearance despite the... more |

1793 S.2 (R-4). Chain AMERICA. No Periods after date, LIBERTY.
|
VF-20 |
$12,000.00
|
Very Fine-20. All design motifs are quite bold and are a pleasing chocolate brown. The details are accentuated by deeper toned fields. The date is the widest of the chain type and is fully clear of the rim. The surfaces show a very light granularity, but are glossy and far superior to what is usually found. Light slide marks are found at Liberty's cheek and a minuscule as-made planchet... more |

1793 S.3 (R-3). Chain AMERICA. No Periods after date, LIBERTY.
|
VF-20 |
$4,750.00
|
Very Fine-20 in terms of wear. On this variety the date and 'RT' of LIBERTY are quite close. Moderate porosity is found within the details, most notably in Liberty's hair. The fields most likely showed a similar porosity at one point, but have since been buffed to minimize surface roughness. The outcome is a coin with generally smooth fields that is most likely more attractive than it... more |

1793 S.3 (R-3). Chain AMERICA.
|
F-12 |
$5,250.00
|
The overall detail is easily that of a Fine-12 or better although there is some weakness at the upper right reverse periphery. Chestnut patina envelopes generally smooth surfaces. Rim repairs are evident at 4:30 on the obverse as well as, to a lesser degree, 10:00 on the reverse. Though not without its problems, this very rare coin delivers a smooth, well defined appearance and is certainly... more |

1793 S.3 (R-3). Chain AMERICA.
|
G-6 |
$5,800.00
|
Good-6. This obverse shows much of its major detail clearly, including a date spaced '1 7 93'. The 'R' in LIBERTY appears large, high and tipped sharply right, diagnostic for this distinctive variety. The reverse shows the Chain, denomination and fraction to be quite full, and the outer legend is clear although STATES OF appears weaker. Surfaces are deep brown and not of uniform smoothness,... more |

1793 S.4 (R-3). Chain AMERICA. Periods after date, LIBERTY.
|
VF-20 |
$9,500.00
|
Very Fine-20 in strict terms of wear. The nicely detailed low-relief Liberty head is positioned between very sharp LIBERTY and date, each followed by a bold period or pellet. The reverse bears an uneven outer legend with an edge bump penetrating AMERICA. A number of field marks can be seen, including marks over and around ONE CENT. Light brown and fascinating. |
