Lot Description

1847 Braided Hair Cent. N-21. Rarity-1. Grellman Die State a. MS-63 RB (PCGS). A generous quotient of mint orange mingles with warm golden tan highlights on both sides of this attractive and modestly lustrous cent. Some peripheral striking weakness is noted, as is typical for the design type, but overall the central devices are fairly sharp.
