1844 1C, RB MS (PCGS#1857)

June 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1844 Braided Hair Cent. N-4. Rarity-1. MS-64 RB (PCGS). CAC. The lustrous surfaces glow with rich terra-cotta coloration, contrasted by deeper steely blue patina across the high points. Nicely defined and free from any distracting post-Mint abrasions. This specimen is one of the finest survivors of the issue, with just 1 single coin ranking higher in this category at PCGS. Comparable in sharpness to the Starr-Halpern specimen offered in our July 2015 Twin Leaf sale, though with even more original Red luster! Approval by CAC surely makes this piece an irresistible offering for advanced specialists. PCGS Population: 17; just 1 finer in MS-65 RB. PCGS# 1857. NGC ID: 226A.
