- 1855 Braided Hair Cent. N-4. Rarity-1. Upright 5s. MS-65 RD (PCGS). OGH. Lovely rose-red surfaces exhibit tinges of intermingled orange-apricot as the coin rotates under a light. The strike is well executed for the type with fully denticulated borders around both sides and virtually all design elements fully rendered. Smooth and inviting overall, as befits the assigned grade, with a delightful softly frosted texture to the finish. Thanks to the discovery of a large hoard of Choice and Gem Mint State examples, the 1855 N-4 is one of several die marriages in the later Braided Hair cent series that enjoys particularly strong demand for high grade type purposes. The hoard coins are all in Grellman Die State a with the reverse uncracked, as here. As a premium quality Gem, the present example would do equally well in a high grade type or variety set. PCGS# 1909. NGC ID: 226M. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
