1844 Braided Hair Cent. N-1. Rarity-1. MS-64 RB (PCGS). CAC. Boldly struck overall, the border denticulation is generally crisp and most features in the centers are sharp. Star 13 is blunt, stars 1 and 2 a trifle weak, but the others show essentially full radial lines. Nearly 50% of the original mint orange color remains, and it is most vivid in the protected areas around the design elements. Otherwise toned in warm gray-brown, both sides are lustrous with a satin to softly frosted texture. Light carbon spots are noted, most prominently on the obverse around star 13 and the digits 44 in the date. There are dull marks on Liberty's cheek behind the lower lip and in the field before the end of the end. Among the finest known for the 1844 Newcomb-1 dies, this impressive example was graded EAC MS-63 by Bob Grellman in his cataloging for Superior's Robinson S. Brown, Jr. Collection sale of June 2002. Tied for CC#2 with one other coin in the current Noyes census, and a perfect candidate for another highly regarded large cent cabinet. Grellman Die State d, Noyes C/B. Provenance: Ex Myles Z.
