1846 Braided Hair Cent. N-18. Rarity-1. Small Date. MS-65+ RB (PCGS). CAC.

A pleasing Gem with exceptional cartwheel activity on soft rose-red surfaces. Warm mint orange graces much of the obverse and nearly engulfs the entire reverse. The color is only muted on the highest points of the design elements. The strike is bold throughout with full stars and central details on the obverse, and with bold wreath details and legend on the reverse. Exceptional quality.

PCGS# 1866. NGC ID: 226C.
