<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 636261, member: 8959&quot;]We haven&#039;t seen one of these on the forum for a while, so I thought I&#039;d show some new pics of mine. </p><p>This was my first &#039;major&#039; U.S coin purchase, bought at the Bower &amp; Merena Bebee sale in 1987. It is the commoner of the 4 Chain varities, an S-3, with the &#039;R&#039; in LIBERTY leaning slightly to the right (thus known as the leaning R variety). The obverse of Chain cents is often better impressed than the obverse. This one is no exception.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately it has corroded surfaces, as can be seen, specially on the obverse. This is a common affliction of these early cents. Finding a specimen with nice, smooth surfaces (like the one owned by Mike (Leadfoot)) is really the exception. </p><p>B&amp;M somewhat optimistically net graded this coin at G-4....</p><p><br /></p><p>I retrospect I feel maybe I should have waited for a better example, (the eagerness of youth!), but as it, it is my only specimen, and I think an acceptable one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
