Way back in 1793, today was the last day the the venerable first circulating coin was produced by the US Mint. So as of now, every chain cent is at least 232 years old. Happy birthday! One day I will own one of you. One day...

Always wanted one, way back as a kid reading my Redbook... Finally mine!
S-4 with periods, PCGS-06, CAC.
I wish I had an AMERI., but that ship has sailed. I owned a very poor one many years ago. It may have been through a fire and had been tooled.
I saw one on the Internet for over $30,000 which had corrosion spots tooled off it. It had a straight grade.
Here's my Chain Cent. Her 232rd birthday is coming up soon.
My S-2. Pleasure to own.

My wife claims to collect coins. She likes firsts, so she has collections of S-1 cents and 1792 half dismes. It's just that each of those "collections" still has a hole to fill.

indeed theres smiles with that coin around
Look what just arrived today, after a good 5 years of looking. It's even in my favorite holder, the beautiful minimalist old timey ANACS soapbox. Yay!

Was very happy to pry this out of a local dealers collection and few years ago. He had had it since the 1950s. Coin has nice smooth brown surfaces.
