Lot 1926
1857 Braided Hair Cent. Small date. PCGS graded Proof 64 Red and Brown. Hazy light brown with hints of red in the stars and through Liberty's hair, with more red color on the reverse. Boldly struck by the dies, as expected for a proof, but this one is particularly spot free and pleasing. Mintages for proofs climbed in 1857, and this is one of the more available dates. PCGS has graded 5 in PR-64 RB, with 4 graded higher.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
From the Michael Riordan collection.
