Lot 488
1835 Braided Hair Cent. Head of 1836. . N-7. Del Bland graded AU-50. With a tiny planchet defect on the cheek. Medium chocolate brown with faint reddish tones and a darker spot between star five and the denticles. There are two very small nicks over star thirteen, otherwise the surfaces are just about flawless. Heavily rusted dies, some stars double lined.
Fairly well struck for this later die state, the planchet defect on the face may actually be a small ding from circulation.
Estimated Value $225 - 400.
