1845 Braided Hair Large Cent PCGS VF-35 BN Choice Mid-Grade Example with Original Color

1845 Braided Hair Large Cent, certified VF-35 Brown (BN) by Professional Coin Grading Service. A great addition to any early copper collection, type set, or to the collection of a collector seeking a wholesome, problem-free mid-grade large cent. Struck during the later years of the Braided Hair series (1839–1857), this piece is a classic example of mid-19th-century American copper coinage. In Very Fine-35, the coin displays strong overall detail with clear definition in Liberty’s hair strands and coronet, as well as bold reverse lettering and wreath elements. The surfaces exhibit an even, pleasing brown patina consistent with the BN designation, with no major distractions. Wear is moderate and uniform, as expected for the grade, while maintaining attractive eye appeal that makes this a desirable collector coin. This coin has been authenticated and professionally graded by PCGS, ensuring confidence in both its condition and originality.
