Lot Description

1851 Braided Hair Cent. N-20. Rarity-3+. Grellman Die State c (N-28). MS-64+ RB (PCGS). CAC. Lustrous and attractive for the mint color and high quality surfaces. One minor carbon trace within the 8, no other spots of any consequence. Both dies show considerable wear from striking many coins previously, and this feature is part of the charm of this series.
