Lot 399
1817 Braided Hair Cent. 13 stars. . N-14. PCGS graded MS-63 Red and Brown and Del Bland graded MS-62. Blunt striking as almost always seen on this variety, another from the Randall Hoard. Nearly full mint red just beginning to tone to brown but on the obverse are a few nicks and light carbon is prominent on both sides.
The carbon spots are present on both sides, but they are not too distracting. What is remarkable, is the amount of original mint red present. This coin literally glows with fiery red, and is very attractive as such.
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
Ex: Benjamin B. DuBose 10/16/44 at $4.50.
