Grade: EF40-AU (Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated)
This 1853 Braided Hair Half Cent from the Philadelphia Mint offers strong eye appeal and solid detail for its grade. The coin features the classic “Braided Hair” design by John Reich, with Liberty’s profile on the obverse and a wreath surrounding a large “1/2 C” on the reverse. The overall strike is well-defined, with crisp features and minimal wear across the surfaces.
Condition:
- Obverse: Displays strong, clear detail in Liberty’s hair and profile, with some light wear on the highest points.
- Reverse: The wreath and central details are bold, showing slight wear but retaining a great deal of definition.
- There is natural toning present, adding to the coin’s character, but no major distractions or heavy marks.
- The coin retains a nice luster with just a few light contact marks typical for the grade.
