1855 Braided Hair Cent. N-4. Rarity-1. Upright 5s. MS-66 RB (NGC).A wonderfully original example with mottled gray-brown patina to a base of vivid deep rose-orange color. A boldly struck early die state (Noyes A/A) with sharp to full detail over virtually all design elements. Thanks to the dispersal of a large hoard of Choice and Gem Mint State examples, the 1855 N-4 variety is one of the most popular high grade type candidates in the Braided Hair cent series.
