1793 S-3 Chain Cent With R. Cutler Smith Hallmark

thanks everyone!

its been interesting watching the third party graders become more adept at this kind of thing. they are identifying chops on Trade dollars now. their ability to attribute early copper is pretty solid these days. they even grade the oddly struck varieties a little differently which is a huge step up from where they were not too long ago. I think that the newer guys coming into these companies are appreciative of a lot of the more nuanced parts of the hobby and I have noticed the graders are starting to care about some of the more niche areas in a way that alligns with what I find interesting about coins.
