@Dave99B Your ANACS chain is very nice! Strong date and nice “circ cam”…
I’m an American history buff, and I agree that chains have a very distinct cachet about them… early federal coins are my primary interest, and I particularly like well circulated, problem free early federal coins most of all. They just have a history and tell a story, and I feel like they have a direct connection to our founders. That’s very cool for a history geek like me.
I’ve owned three of the other 1793 cents; both Wreath types, and the Liberty cap, but never a Chain.
That and the 1799 will probably still be on my bucket list to my grave…

Same. The1799 has also been on my list for a long, long time. I’d love to add one to my collection. Tough, tough, tough.

Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.
Best I could swing, ANACS G6 but I thought it might be undergraded by one notch. Reverse is much stronger but I don't have a pic right here on hand. Maybe my favorite coin of all.
The artwork and original photograph are mine, the coin was not. I made this illustration for a couple of coin album orders.

I also owned a lowly ANACS Fair 2, but I sold it. Chains are magical. 🪄

There's something magical about a chain cent that looks this nice. Congrats!
