- Lot Description
- 1855 Braided Hair Half Cent. C-1, the only known dies. Rarity-1. MS-65 RB (NGC). A frosty and lustrous Gem with excellent eye appeal and bold design elements. Virtually all "R" with no certain traces of "B;" this coin makes you wonder where "R" leaves off and "B" begins. Some tiny soft toning spots can be seen under low magnification, insignificant at best and unseen by the unaided eye. Only threeexamples of the date have been certified finer than the present Gem by NGC within the RB category. PCGS# 35334.
