Lot Description

1851 Braided Hair Cent. N-15. Rarity-4. MS-65+ RB (PCGS). CAC. A dazzling premium-Gem with overall tangerine coloration and swaths of bronze and steel blue scattered throughout. The obverse retains the most original Mint Red but each side showcases tremendously satiny luster. The denticles have largely faded from a late die state but the focal elements remain crisp and fully undisturbed by abrasions. A beautiful example with just 17 coins finer at PCGS in this category. PCGS Population: 4; 17 finer. PCGS# 1893. NGC ID: 226H. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
