1849 Braided Hair Cent. N-17. Rarity-3. Grellman State-b. MS-62 BN (PCGS).Highly lustrous with visually striking pale blue and steel iridescence in the fields. Traces of faded red are also seen in some of the recesses. A few scattered light marks are noted, commensurate with the grade, but the overall eye appeal is quite nice. The second of five die states listed by Grellman, with all noted markers easily seen.From Gary Adkins, November 2015.
