1850 Braided Hair Cent. N-2. Rarity-1. MS-63 BN (PCGS).；Lovely olive-brown surfaces with subtle faded tan mottling visible on the reverse. Pleasing luster in the fields while the devices are glossy throughout. A couple of small marks account for the grade, but the surfaces are quite clean overall. Late die state with prominent cracks at TED and ATES. Not quite Condition Census, but among the finest dozen or so specimens. From the Henry C. Hines and Ted Naftzger Collections, likely the two finest collections of large cents ever formed.；From Henry C. Hines; Willard C. Blaisdell; R.E. "Ted" Naftzger, Jr., September 1976, via Del Bland; Ira & Larry Goldbergs sale of the Ted Naftzger Collection, September 2009, lot 973.
