1852 Braided Hair Cent. N-22, 9. Rarity-1. MS-65 RB (NGC). Plenty of vivid reddish-orange mint color shines through steely-copper patina that is more extensive on the reverse. Sharply struck from a late state of these dies (Noyes c, N-9), the surfaces are lustrous and smooth with an endearing satin texture. PCGS# 1899. NGC ID: 226J.
