Kevboe11 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 03:43 am Hi all, please tell me this is the Newcomb 7 for the 1845 Braided Hair Cent. I think it is,.that's the only variety with the bottom of the 1 almost touching the dentiles, the 8 and 4 just about touching, and the front part of the bottom of the 1 in that position in relation to the front of the denticle. Also you can see the horizontal bars inside the loops of the 8 and inside the triangle of the 4. No other Newcomb has the date exactly like that. It's gotta be a 7, which would be huge!

Kevboe11 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 04:32 am I can't get them downsized enough. I do have pics, but they are too large even after compression Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5669 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 05:53 am Try resizing your photos to 800x800 first, then compressing. You can use photoshop, or Irfanview, or any online photo editor. Report this Post to the Staff

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24154 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 06:15 am Your compression is way too high, at 90, which is overkill for the Internet. Your file is 295kb, but this one is 65kb at 60 compression. There is no perceptible difference. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

Kevboe11 Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 08:34 am Newcomb 7? Is it enough to be a low MS coin? Aside from whatever those spots are, little to no wear. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5669 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 09:15 am Good job on the photos! Looks good for N-7 to me, although sharper images of the inside loops of the 8 would help. There is definitely wear on the leaves. I'd say AU details from the obverse corrosion spots and a light cleaning in the past. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5669 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 12:09 pm Unfortunately, with the corrosion spots, low AU sharpness, and poor eye appeal, this is nowhere close to a PCGS-graded AU-58 value. It will always be a details coin, but I wonder if conservation might help with the eye appeal? Report this Post to the Staff
