Description

1857 Braided Hair Half Cent. C-1, the only known dies. Rarity-2. MS-64 RD (NGC).

This near-Gem has bold to sharp striking detail and satiny rose-red luster throughout.

Scarcer than most other circulation strikes of its type. The 1857 is rare with the combination of full Red color and Choice Mint State quality offered here.

PCGS# 1241. NGC ID: 26Z3.

NGC Census: 8; just 2 are finer (MS-66 RD finest).
