Lot Description

1847 Braided Hair Half Cent. Second Restrike. B-3. Rarity-5. Small Berries, Reverse of 1840. Proof-65 BN (NGC). CAC. Shimmering reflectivity in the fields and broad rims leave little doubt about this coin's proof status. The strike is razor sharp overall including the sometimes soft central design elements. The diagnostic reverse die file marks at the denticles over the RICA in AMERICA are, however, still evident, and glistening russet and electric-blue undertones confirm the impressive eye appeal. A distraction-free Gem. PCGS# 1293. NGC ID: 26ZH. Click here for certification details from NGC.
