Description

  • "This is a '1792' chain token, copper United States chain one cent with a silver center. These one cent coins, known as chain cents due to the chain of 13 links symbolizing the unity of the original 13 American states, were produced in 1793 and were composed of pure copper. There was one example struck in 1792 with a center piece of silver. These had a slightly different design than the 1793 pure copper cent issues.  Mr. Daniel Carr of the Moonlight Mint produced this silver center '1792' chain cent token.

    From his website, "This "1792" silver-center Chain fantasy token combines the 1792 date and basic 1792 silver-center cent composition with the 1793 Chan Cent design. In place of the "ONE CENT" text on the reverse, this token has "WE ARE ONE" (with "ONE" enlarged) and "MIND YOUR BUSINESS", both taken from the early Fugio Cent of 1787. Struck in collar on virgin 28mm copper blanks that have a 0.6-gram 999 silver plug in the center." 

    This token has been certified and sealed in a tamper-proof ANACS holder. "ANACS # 0400721010100030  MS 70 with American flag ANACS holder
