Chapman Coin Album

1793 1C Chain, America AU53BN PCGS #1341

S-2 R4+ Ex. Chapman (5/1885) Plated in NNP archives. Light chocolate brown obverse. Reverse slightly darker, looks UNC, containing several planchet voids or "drift marks" as Chapman called them, signifying impurities in the planchet that subsequently eroded away. Incredible example.

1793 1C Wreath, Vine and Bars, S-5 AU55BN PCGS #35447

Sheldon 5. Very pleasing with no visible marks other than normal "background noise". No porosity, good color, a small planchet fissure behind the head, looks like a bit of extra hair. Few trivial rim nicks on the reverse. Probably the nicest S-5 I will ever own.
