LOT 20

1793 S-2 R-4+ AMERICA Chain Cent FR2+ . A point sharper but there is a spot of granular crud along the right chain and old scratches on both sides. Chocoalte brown with wisps of lighter tan on the obverse and darker brown along the left reverse.

LOT 17

1793 S-1 R-4 AMERI Chain Cent AG3 . Pleasing chocoalte and olive browns with trivial scattered marks consistent with the grade on relatively smooth, glossy surfaces. The portrait is fully outlined, and most of the legends remain readable enough to identify the AMERI variety, though the date is gone. Overall choice color and surfaces for the grade, just worn.
