1856 Braided Hair Large Cent Slanted 5 Variety NGC VF-25 BN Better Date U.S. Copper

1856 Braided Hair Large Cent featuring the desirable Slanted 5 date variety, certified by NGC as VF-25 Brown (BN). A nice, problem-free certified example ideal for a growing large cent collection or as a representative mid-grade type coin. This mid-grade example displays solid detail for the assigned grade, with Liberty’s hair strands and coronet clearly defined, along with strong reverse wreath elements. The surfaces show even brown coloration consistent with natural aging, free from major distractions, and maintaining pleasing eye appeal. The 1856 issue is a better date within the Braided Hair series, and the Slanted 5 variety adds an extra layer of collector interest, making this a desirable piece for both type and variety collectors alike.
