Lot 245
1857 Braided Hair Half Cent. . C-1. Del Bland graded MS-64. Full mint red lightly toned with some very small carbon spots on both sides, some light carbon on the lower obverse, two small scratches between stars six and seven and one between stars ten and eleven.
A stunning coin which will no doubt see serious bidding. To find an 1857 with so much original mint red is a real challenge for the variety or date collector. Don't let this one get away.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
Ex: James G. Macallister 6/7/44 as "Unc. Red" for $3.50.
