1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-3. Rarity-3-. AMERICA, No Periods. VF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).This is a remarkably appealing coin for the assigned grade, both sides overall boldly defined with dominant medium brown patina. Isolated high points are a bit lighter in appearance, while a few swirls of dark color associated with light reverse pitting explain the stated qualifier. A bit rough in texture, as well, although most areas are pleasingly smooth in hand. Moderate planchet void in the upper left obverse field, tiny edge bump at 7 oclock on the same side. This is a well struck, rather nicely preserved example with above average eye appeal in a mid-grade survivor of this popular one year type from the initial year of large cent production. Worthy of a close look, and also a solid bid.Acquired from Henry Garrett, January 1983.
