1855 Braided Hair Cent. N-4. Rarity-1. Upright 5s. MS-64 RB (PCGS). CAC. OGH.

Much deep rose-red mint color remains to surfaces that also sport pleasant toning in iridescent steel-brown. Hard and satiny in texture with just a trace of light carbon precluding a Gem grade. Provenance: From the Martin Logies Collection. PCGS# 1908. NGC ID: 226M. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
