Lot 996
1793 S-3 R3- Chain AMERICA. Good-5. A few points sharper but cleaned and coated with a thin layer of lacquer. The coating has worn off the highpoints, allowing those areas to tone back to a natural looking glossy chocolate brown, but the remainder of the planchet displays slightly faded artificial red from the cleaning. No roughness or marks. The date is complete and easily readable but is not strong. The legends are complete as well, although a couple letters are weak. MDS, Breen state II. A decent Chain Cent that deserves a proper retoning.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
