1852 Braided Hair Cent. N-4. Rarity-1. Grellman State-b. MS-64 BN (PCGS). CAC.Attractive light steel brown with traces of original faded red remaining in some of the recesses and nuances of pale blue iridescence. Lustrous with nice eye appeal. Struck from Grellmans intermediate die state, but clearly late therein, as the dies are heavily worn and flowlined, particularly on the obverse. Still, the date remains relatively strong as do the central details. The peripheral details have begin to draw toward the edge and the dentils are mushy. No marks worthy of individual mention.From Tom Reynolds, 1994; Robinson Brown; 1999 EAC Auction, lot 64.; Chris Victor McCawley; Dr. Bruce Tucker; Goldbergs February 2017, lot 530.
