1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-1. Rarity-4. AMERI. VF Details--Repaired (NGC).The eagerly sought AMERI variety of the one year design type 1793 Chain cent, represented here by a more affordable mid grade example. Boldly toned in a blend of copper-rose and steel-gray patina, both sides are universally porous with an overall rough, granular texture. Of sizeable blemishes we see nothing of note, however, and the detail is bold to sharp throughout with much to tempt the budget minded type or variety collector. Sheldon-1 is the only die marriage of this historic issue with the AMERI abbreviation in the reverse legend. Noyes Die State A. From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier from Heritages Chicago Signature & Platinum Night Auction of September 2011, lot 3039.
