The CAC has only approved thirteen Chain Cents in all grades.
-
Chain Cents and Wreath Cents were minted only in 1793.

The half cents of 1793 are a one-year design type, and three different types of large cents were struck during this same year, Chain Cents, Wreath Cents and Liberty Cap Cents.
-
In terms of the number of PCGS or NGC certified coins, and of the number of potentially gradable coins, 1793 half cents and 1793 Chain Cents are similar in rarity.
-
Like Chain Cents, these were minted only in 1793, though Wreath Cents are not as scarce as Chain Cents.
-
Chain Cents and Wreath Cents are certainly each one-year types.
-
I estimate that more than 1500 Chain Cents survive, though very few grade AU-55 or higher.
-
There are three Chain Cents in the upcoming ANA auction.
-
Chain Cents are not as rare as, though are more popular than, the half cents of 1793.
-
My guess, however, is that there are even more non-gradable, or borderline-gradable, Chain Cents than 1793 half cents.
