1853 1 Cent - What Variety ?

braided hair

I started doing some digging on the variety. I would suggest visiting the following site and compare the obverse picture with the one supplied for the current variety, in this case N15. It may or may not be the variety but by following the guidelines below you'll be able to narrow down what variety it might be. You can scroll down a little on that page and you'll see a link that says show related coins and varieties. Click that link to see the list of varieties for this particular year.

Start with the date position and pay attention to the positioning of the 1, where the hair curl is positioned with regards to the 8 and also the positioning of the 5 with regards to whether it is near the hair or not near the hair.

By doing this you'll narrow the possibilities.

I have noted N15, N17, N22, and N23. There are more I'm sure but it's a decent start. Keep us posted!
