Description du lot: 1850 Braided Hair Half Cent. C-1, the only known dies. Rarity-2. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Really a lovely example of this scarcer circulation strike Braided Hair half cent. The strike is full with all features crisp and there is very little wear. Hard and satiny in texture with a very smooth appearance for a date that is often found with numerous Mint-made depressions. Only one is seen here, at the reverse border between the words UNITED and STATES, and it appears to be the result of foreign matter adhering to the die. Warmly and evenly toned with abundant eye appeal. CAC Population: 15 in all AU grades. PCGS# 1221. NGC ID: 26YV. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
