1844 Braided Hair Cent. N-4. Rarity-1. MS-64 RB (PCGS). CAC. The lustrous surfaces glow with rich terra-cotta coloration, contrasted by deeper steely blue patina across the high points. Nicely defined and free from any distracting post-Mint abrasions. This specimen is one of the finest survivors of the issue, with just 1 single coin ranking higher in this category at PCGS. Comparable in sharpness to the Starr-Halpern specimen offered in our July 2015 Twin Leaf sale, though with even more original Red luster! Approval by CAC surely makes this piece an irresistible offering for advanced specialists.
