1793 Flowing Hair Cent. Chain Reverse. S-3. Rarity-3-. AMERICA, Without Periods. EF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).，This is a pleasing Extremely Fine example of the popular Chain cent type that is sure to appeal to many collectors in todays market. The reverse is typically sharper than the obverse with the chain motif and twin denominations ONE CENT and 1/100 particularly crisp. For the obverse we note above average definition due to a lack of all but minor high point wear. The word LIBERTY and the date 1793 are sharp, as are all elements of the portrait save for the highest locks of hair in the center. Deep olive-copper patina to both sides, the surfaces with a pleasingly satin texture in hand that yields to trivial roughness and light pitting upon closer inspection, the latter features explaining the PCGS qualifier. Dull marks in the center of the obverse, below the letters LI in LIBERTY and in the lower right obverse field are the only mentionable abrasions. Given the historical significance of this first year, one-year type in the United States Mints large cent series, this uncommonly high grade circulated survivor would serve as a highlight in an advanced collection.，，
