1848 BRAIDED HAIR 1C PCGS PR64 Red Brown CAC

Choice Proof 1848 Braided Hair cent certified PR64 Red and Brown, representing an extremely small reported proof production of only seven pieces. Early proof cents of the 1840s were not made for broad public distribution, and each survivor is important to copper specialists. The Red and Brown designation suggests meaningful original color remains, while the PR64 grade reflects strong preservation for a sensitive copper proof. Braided Hair cents from this decade combine rarity, delicate proof finish, and the charm of pre-standardized Mint proof coinage. This coin is a significant representative of an elusive early proof issue.
