Lot 441
1826 Braided Hair Cent. . N-1. Del Bland graded VF-30. Darkish steel brown with traces of light brown on the lower left obverse. Near stars five and six are a couple small scratches and over the left top of E in ONE is a small nick. One dash after the date.
An exceptional cent that boasts great color, surfaces and is boldly struck. Darker tones highlight the devices. Middle die state with the rim break over star six, but no sign of the crack from star nine to the hair yet. Don't expect to get this one cheap! An opportunity that shouldn't be missed.
Estimated Value $200 - 350.
