- 1854 Braided Hair Cent. N-25. Rarity-3. Noyes Die State C/C. MS-66 RB (PCGS). CAC. <strong>Die Variety: </strong>Newcomb-25 is one of 30 varieties of the date; there is no hole in Liberty's ear on this variety. <br />
<strong> <br />
Die State: </strong>Late Noyes die states, the fields revealing die wear and stress throughout, with especially heavy die erosion seen at the rims.<strong> </strong> <br />
<br />
<strong>Strike: </strong>Sharp at the centers and several obverse stars show full radials. <strong> <br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Surfaces: </strong>Deep rose-tan and satiny mint orange throughout, with the latter dominating both sides. Free of marks of consequence; a scattering of tiny flecks are noted under low magnification, the majority at the date area.<strong> <br />
</strong> <br />
<strong>Census Rankings: </strong>Noyes ranks this Gem as number one in his Census; McCawley-Grellman call it tied for finest seen. The Noyes grade is MS-67, and the McCawley-Grellman grade is MS-66.<br />
<br />
<strong>Pedigree:</strong> Lee J. Lahrman; Abe Kosoff's sale of February 1963, lot 476; Ira & Larry Goldberg's sale of the R. E. "Ted" Naftzger, Jr. Collection, Part III, September 2009, lot 1226; Cardinal Collection.<strong><br />
<br />
Commentary: </strong>The Cardinal Collection provides an excellent opportunity to fill in the <em>Guide Book</em> varieties listed for this decade, and in brilliant Gem Mint State, nonethelss. An opportunity that is surely not soon to be repeated!
