Lot 416
1819/8 Braided Hair Cent. . N-1. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown and Del Bland graded EF-45. Mint State sharpness but in the field before the face and on the face are many microscopic nicks. Also on the face is another small nick, a tiny one is on the lower bust line, a hairline scratch crosses the lower neck and around ONE CENT are other nicks and hairline scratches. Well struck and centered with the overdate feature sharp and clear. Medium and light chocolate brown with considerable faded mint red on the reverse.
There is a lighter arc of brown at the top of the obverse, and the hairline scratches and nicks are to be expected for the grade assigned. Excellent color and scarce in this grade.
