1851 Braided Hair Large Cent, CACG MS-64+BN, Only Plus, Gemmy Coin!
A stunning original Brown Unc example, with lustrous chocolate surfaces showing a hint of underlying red toning. The only Plus at CACG in the grade - I am not sure how much nicer a coin like this has to be to get a 65! The short "line" extending from Liberty's hair bun is a die crack, not a scratch. Quite the price jump in MS-65. The PCGS guide value for MS-64+ is $850 (14 coins in the PCGS Plus Pop, not sure any are nicer than this coin). My opinion is that this is worth more - price based upon my actual cost and fees to sell here (and I am not in a huge rush to sell this). All images are from CACG (slab not shown as the image they provided will for some reason not upload here, however you can see it on the CACG site by checking the cert #.
