1851 Braided Hair Cent. N-12, 11. Rarity-1. MS-65 RD (PCGS).This handsome Gem exhibits dominant bright orange luster to both sides and the surfaces are satiny and as smooth as would be expected for the assigned grade. The strike is very well executed for a late date Braided Hair cent, the reverse periphery sharp and the central design elements on both sides full. Minor softness of detail is seen in isolated areas around the obverse border, but all denticles are distinct and most of the stars display at least partial centrils. While N-12, 11 is a plentiful die marriage in an absolute sense, examples that are as well preserved as this lovely piece are rare. Finer than the Twin Leaf specimen (PCGS MS-63 BN) that we sold as lot 11151 in our March 2016 sale of that collection, and sure to find its way into a high quality type, variety or Registry set. Noyes Die State B/B.PCGS Population (all die marriages of the issue): 18; with a single MS-66 RD finer in this category.From the Beasley Collection.
