1850 Braided Hair Large Cent

What a stunning coin. Surface coloration is a little odd, but not out of the realm of possibility for a coin which has obviously never seen circulation. Strike is slightly weak above the ear and there are a couple weak stars, neither of which are out of the ordinary either.

If the reverse is as good as the obverse, and the surfaces are deemed original, this coin is an easy MS64BN (maybe RB) with a value exceeding US$400. These are available in high grades, and this coin certainly deserves a seat at that table.

Wow! How nice is that! What a lovely coin.

Yeah, I'm even more off-put by the reverse coloration. This coin's technical merits are wonderful, and I have a hard time envisioning circumstances where one would want to deliberately alter the surfaces, but I'm nervous all the same.

Coin is 100% not recolored.Sometimes strange coloration is pics fault especially when you try to catch luster.Good example is inside the wrath.Ill try to bid for it.Estimate is close to 500$ but starting bid depends on interest.Fingers crossed.

Thats the reason I was asking about rarity of closed 5.I cant find any info.Valuation was probably made on *normal* 5.
