1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-3. Rarity-3-. AMERICA, Without Periods. VF-35 (PCGS).A second mid grade example of the popular Leaning R variety. The letters AME in AMERICA are barely visible due to misalignment of the dies. A splendid example at the assigned level, otherwise, both sides exhibit natural iridescent medium brown over predominantly smooth surfaces. A tiny planchet flake in Libertys hair, as made, is the only blemish of note. All in all, a well balanced Choice VF to represent the classic Chain cent of 1793. Noyes Die State B/C.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) session of Auction 87, July-August 1987, lot 512.
