1842 Braided Hair Cent. N-3. Rarity-3. Large Date. MS-64+ BN (PCGS). CAC.
This satiny and lustrous rose brown specimen offers a bold and full strike throughout both sides. We note some deep toning on the obverse that reaches from between stars 5 and 6 downward across LI and then into Liberty's hair below. Traces of lively rose and blue iridescence engage both sides in a bright light source. Choice for the grade and deserving of both the PCGS "+" and the CAC sticker designations.
PCGS# 1835. NGC ID: 2268.
