Lot Description

1846 Braided Hair Cent. N-9. Rarity-2. Small Date. MS-65 RB (PCGS). This handsome Gem would do equally well in a high grade type set or advanced large cent collection. Satiny in texture with mottled lilac-brown iridescence, both sides retain appreciable rose-orange color that is more extensive on the obverse. Central striking detail is sharp while that around the peripheries is suitably bold. Smooth and inviting with eye appeal to spare. Noyes Die State B/C. PCGS# 1866. NGC ID: 226C.
