Lot 953
1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain reverse, "AMERICA" in legend. . S-3, R-3. Fine-12. Sharpness F15 or slightly better but there is some very fine roughness on both sides, strongest on the left side of the obverse, and a dull scratch from the bust tip arcing down to the rim under the 9 in the date. A few specks of very shallow verdigris can be found with the aid of a strong glass, but they certainly are not a distraction. The date and legends are complete and strong. Slightly glossy reddish chocolate and steel brown. MDS, Breen die state II. Not perfect but certainly a very acceptable example for the grade.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 12,000.
