2 days ago I got a call from a dealer, he had a coin for me. I have been building a type set from 1793-1807 for a couple of years and additions of the right coin is getting harder and harder.
Finally I got a chance to get to his shop, instantly had to have the coin. The story of the coin is it was purchased in the late 1950's with three other large cents, a wreath cent and a 1795 large cent for a total price of 300 dollars. the coin sat in a safe until it was graded about a decade or so ago. The other 2 coins were not right for my collection, but this chain cent called to me.
just some quick pictures, the date is much more obvious in hand, I guess this variety comes with a weaker date
Anyone care to guess its grade.
currently in pcgs f12. I feel it is at least a 15

The coin looks like a solid VF - that’s quite a nice “new coin to the type set”!

Yea, that's nice. 15-20. Congrats.
20.
Wow, great coin!
Very tough to find this nice, has to be VF something, I'll guess 25 but wouldn't be surprised at higher, 15 or lower and she's a screaming bargain imho

So cool to see these without any rim issues. Great choice! My vote is VF25.
I should add that I’ve been a big fan of the quality of coins you post here. Would love to see the set when it’s complete.
Very nice Sheldon-4

Damn !! That coin would call to anyone here. The question is a bank account that can call back.
What a knockout example, and well worth the wait. Congrats! VF20 in my book.

That's a nice Chain Cent!
I knew it would happen.
Agree with all the above comments and VF something grade guesses.
Coin is currently in a pcgs f12 holder. Best looking F chain cent I have seen. I have spent a lot of time looking at this coin today. Cool piece of history
Holder photo please.
Hey I got it right! Congrats on the coin.

I would have guessed 20 before I saw the grade posted, really nice! I still lack a chain as type. If only that coin could talk!
10-4,

If that's in a 12 holder it is silently net graded due to the surfaces.
I've always liked the periods variety the best, but so few of them are as nice as yours.
We have a winner! What’s the prize?

Wow... nice coin... 12?? My initial impression was 20. Weakly struck obverse with a banger reverse.

Gorgeous, wholesome, ultrastrong for the grade! Nice!
Best, SH
Wholesome state of preservation for the grade.
Great coin.
Beautiful planchet.
That has to go at least a 15 on regrade.
Congrats.
