Details
Description:
Very desirable, low mintage (55,000 only) and about uncirculated or better copper Braided Hair Liberty Head half cent. The coin itself is much better than the scan shows and has all of the details evident. Look at the details in the hair, the nose, the mouth, and the eyes. The word LIBERTY in the crown is crisp and all there. As you can see from the photo, the details on the reverse are all there with minimum wear, if any, commensurate with its age and its circulated status. The coin is nicely toned, has nice eye appeal and is beautiful. These coins were designed by Christian Gobrecht. Early US coins such as this are gradually getting more and more difficult to find especially in such a high grade. Please view photos as they are part and parcel of our description.
