1853 Braided Hair Cent. N-10. Rarity-1. Grellman State-b. MS-63 RB (PCGS).Quite attractive with generous faded mint red on over most of the obverse, while the reverse is somewhat blue-green steel in tone. Some light speckling in the obverse patina while the reverse is rather uniform. Nice luster throughout. A bit of shallowness on Libertys neck from die debris. Repunching still visible below the 1 and within the 8 of the date. These artifacts fade from view on the latest state.From Ward Sanford, November 2017.
