I have a memory of reading somewhere about a 1793 Chain Cent that was graded as full red. Does anyone know if this is true?

Thanks.

All I can tell you is that a search of the PCGS site shows the top pop chain cent is graded MS-65 RB and is valued at 1.1 million.

I assume it's this one. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...rica-rb/1342
Looks more like BN to me, but what do I know.

Couldn't resist adding a pic of the coin mentioned by @kbb to the thread. Hard to imagine there is one even better preserved!

Thanks for all the replies and the photo. I guess my memory was not right.

I did see a full red Draped Bust Large Cent as part of the Tyrant Collection at the ANA show in Chicago in 2021. That was gorgeous.

There is an MS66BN. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...ods-bn/91341 NGC also has a pop 1 in MS66BN.

The RB example is just a killer.
