1853 Braided Hair Cent. N-29. Rarity-3. Grellman State-c. MS-61 BN (PCGS).Pale blue iridescence blankets both sides, with underlying remnants of faded red and olive brown. One small brick spot near Star 11, with a bit of lighter toning around it might have led to the cleaned designation, but we see no hairlines or other evidence, nor is cleaning mentioned on the associated Grellman card. Rather attractive overall and likely close to Condition Census.From Falmouth Stamp and Coin, February 1995; Gary Ruttenberg, McCawley and Grellman, August 1996, lot 550; our sale of the Twin Leaf Collection, Part IV, November 2017, lot 1087.
