Lot Description

1846 Braided Hair Cent. N-6. Rarity-1. Small Date. MS-63 BN (NGC). Light, iridescent golden-brown toning drifts over surfaces that retain plenty of faded pink color. A bit softly struck at the borders, although the central design elements are sharp. With three dozen or so examples known (per Bob Gellman, 2021), Newcomb-6 is one of the more frequently encountered die marriages of the 1846 cent in Mint State, making it popular for high grade type purposes. Grellman Die State c. PCGS# 403868. NGC ID: 226C. Click here for certification details from NGC.
