Description
This 1840 Braided Hair half cent, Restrike, graded PCGS PR65RB, stands out for mirrored fields and rich brown color. Early copper specialists value these issues for die attribution, color, and surface quality as much as numerical grade. Attribution specialists will note Rarity-7+. For proof gold and silver collectors, surface preservation and finish are often as important as the numeric grade. Assembling comparable quality within this series is challenging, which gives this piece meaningful collector relevance.
