详细说明: 1841 Braided Hair Cent. N-4. Rarity-1. Noyes Die State D/D. MS-66 RB (PCGS). CAC. Die Variety: Newcomb-4 is one of seven varieties for the date.    Die State: Die crack from rim above star 5 through stars 6, 7, and 8, then to the rim above star 9, a diagnostic of Newcomb-4. Late obverse state, crack now soft in appearance and cuds on rim below date. Reverse a later state as well with softening in the dentils, diagnostic die crack from below ribbon end upward across the tops of UNITED and to the rim above the following S. Die lines around denomination present but not crisp. Strike: The central obverse details are crisp and all but a few stars deliver full radials. The reverse wreath details are as bold as ever seen for the type.    Surfaces: Boldly lustrous rose-brown with abundant warm mint orange highlights; the reverse is deeper in tone than the obverse. The luster is bold with strong cartwheel activity. Some scattered flecks are present, most noticeable of these to the left of the date near star 1.    Census Rankings: The Noyes Census and the McCawley-Grellman Census both include this coin as the finest seen of the variety; the Bland Census does not include dates after 1839. The present piece is the finest RB example of the date certified by PCGS, with none finer in the RB category. Noyes calls the coin MS-65 and McCawley-Grellman calls it MS-65+. Pedigree: Howard R.
