1847 Braided Hair Large Cent, Choice Almost Uncirculated
$253.00
An attractive original Choice AU example, with the sharpness and degree of wear of an AU-58. However the surfaces are just a bit dull and the luster does not pop off the coin like needed to certify AU-58, in my opinion. This is due to the coin having been recovered from a misc. lot of period coinage owned by a non-collector. The slight dullness is likely due to having been stored in a leather purse. Regardless, no damage of any sort, no significant marks, spots or stains. Quality wise, very PQ - priced based upon my opinion of value. I will say that if you submit the coin it does have a shot at certifying AU-58, and if so this is easily closer to a $400 coin.
