{"title":"Large Cents \/ Middle Dates","description":"\u003cp\u003eGenerally speaking in US history, a large cent refers to a one-cent piece minted from 1793 to 1857.

The 1793 Chain Cent, Periods variety (S-4), stands as one of the most historic issues in American numismatics, with a recorded mintage of just 36,103 pieces and an estimated 300 survivors today. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in March 1793, it represents the very first circulating federal coinage, preceding even the 1793 half cents and subsequent large cent designs. The S-4 variety is instantly distinguished by its punctuation, featuring periods following both the date and LIBERTY—an attribute not found on any other 1793 cent. Scholars including Walter Breen and Harry Salyards have suggested differing theories about the engraver responsible, with stylistic comparisons pointing to Joseph Wright or another hand later involved in the Wreath Cent dies, leaving its authorship an enduring mystery. Though the S-3(America) can be found with ease, the Period (S-4) is near impossible to find. This is likely the only example that you can acquire a Chain CAC Period Cent for 4 figures.

The obverse is adorned in rich, glossy chocolate-brown surfaces illuminated by vibrant copper-orange highlights that radiate from the protected areas around the stars and devices, creating a striking halo effect around Liberty’s portrait. The overall eye appeal is outstanding for the grade, with a pleasing balance of color, luster, and preservation that distinguishes it as a high-end example. As a scarce and often overlooked subtype, this Medium Letters issue is seldom encountered with CAC approval at this level, with a population of just 1\/7 and no confirmed CAC transactions in MS62. Despite a mintage of 2,362,000 pieces, only an estimated 1,000 examples survive today across all grades, making the issue far scarcer than its original production suggests.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/cert\/50764033\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePCGS Cert Verification #50764033\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• PCGS Price Guide -$1,150\u003cbr\u003e• PCGS POP - 7\/27\u003cbr\u003e• CAC Price Guide - $1,500\u003cbr\u003e• CAC POP - 1\/7\u003cbr\u003e• PCGS Coin# \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgs.com\/coinfacts\/coin\/detail\/1690\/62\" class=\"underline\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e1690\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PCGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52177544937784,"sku":"50764033","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/3891\/0535\/files\/1832_1C_MEDIUM_MS62_BN_PCGS_CAC.png?v=1784062967"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/3891\/0535\/collections\/large-cents-223785-modified.png?v=1740635065","url":"https:\/\/paradimecoins.com\/collections\/middle-date-large-cents-for-sale.oembed","provider":"Paradime Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
