Our Firat Cent.

The first American cent vas struck off and put in circulation in I7S3. Pre- vlous to that date pattern pieces had been made, but they were experiments only and were never put in circulation. The so called Washington cents, which existed previous to the date above giv- en. were not issued by the government andwer therefore. only medals. The cent of 17O3 was very similar to the large copper cents of later date, with the exception that the face of Liberty was turned to the right and the legend "One Cent" was lnclosed in a chain of thirteen links.
