Losbeschreibung

1856 Braided Hair Cent. N-8. Rarity-4. Upright 5. MS-65+ RB (PCGS). Satin to softly frosted surfaces retain much of the original mint color in vivid rose-orange. Overall sharply struck with minimal iridescent brown toning and strong eye appeal, a faint spot at the back of Liberty's cheek seems to be the only impediment to an even higher Gem Mint State rating. Newcomb-8 is one of 22 varieties of the date, as well as one of nine varieties of the Upright 5 Guide Booklisting. The obverse die makes another appearance as N-20, and the reverse die is also seen at N-7. This is one of the finest certified survivors of the 1856 Upright 5 large cent as a whole -- a coin with tremendous appeal for both type collectors and early copper enthusiasts. PCGS Population (all die marriages of the Upright 5 variety): 2; with a single MS-66 RB finer in this category. PCGS# 1920. NGC ID: 226N. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
