Lot Description

1840 Braided Hair Cent. N-10, 11. Rarity-2. Large Date. MS-64+ BN (PCGS). CAC. A lovely near-Gem example with chocolate brown patina and hints of steel blue iridescence shadowing the design elements. The dies are slightly worn, showing weakened denticles that is associated with the N-11 die state. Even so, the devices are nicely struck and complement the smooth fields. A harder to locate variety than one might expect given the Rarity-2 rating. PCGS Population: 4; 27 finer. PCGS# 1820. NGC ID: 2266. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
