From the first year in this short-lived and tough, tough series, comes this fantastic 1849 Braided Hair Half Cent. With an ultra-low mintage of just 39,864, and PCGS estimating only 1,000 examples to survive, this is an elusive coin in any condition and exceedingly rare as nice as this example. Indeed, this is the highest grade raw example that we've seen, with all of the coveted attributes to warrant a VF-XF grade. Full liberty, loads of original details in the hair and bun, exceptional laurels and lettering, razor sharp stars, denticles, and rims. Overall, a sensational example with pleasing chocolate brown color. A true rarity here, folks! Take a look at the photos, prices realized for similar examples, and then come back here and bid with confidence. NO RESERVE, and a starting bid of just $1.00!!
