1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-3. Rarity-3-. AMERICA, Without Periods. Fair-2 (PCGS). Handsome deep copper brown patina blankets both sides of this originally preserved example. A few light marks on the obverse are consistent with the grade, and several shallow edge bruises are noted on both sides. Microgranular, although most areas are fairly smooth, shallow flan flaw at the right obverse border. Libertys portrait is well outlined for the grade, the word LIBERTY is faint yet legible, and the date is extremely faint with only the digits 93 barely identifiable. On the reverse only the chain motif, the denomination ONE CENT, and isolated portions of the fraction 1/100 and the legend are discernible. Given the historical significance of this one year design type, this relatively pleasing Fair example is sure to find many willing buyers in todays market.
