I find myself looking at a lot of Braided Hair cents recently. This looks like an EF45 to me. Bit of a weak strike on the reverse from 8-12, but I like the obverse. I've seen a lot of weak strikes on obverse on the L and I of LIBERTY, Looks like a good strike. Interested in opinions and grading comments. Seller's pics.   Edited by Blastenpene4

Nice looking coin - grade seems appropriate. The dark areas, such as RTY, her ear, and among the laurels are a bit distracting.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I think this gets to AU50 TPGVery worn dies, but an attractive coin. Couple of dark areas as Hondo noted but nothing outrageous. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Better to walk away than spend too much money, even though it's sometimes really, really painful to do so!
