    Description

    1850 Braided Hair Large cent for sale. This coin has an extremely thin planchet, and weighs only 5.15 grams! What is odd is that the details are still clear on both sides of the coin, meaning one side wasn't "smoothed" down as is common with love tokens, and the design isn't struck that deeply into the coin that the weight loss could have occurred through wear. Perhaps this coin was struck on a flattened half cent planchet? The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive. It is bent slightly.
    Please use the pictures to determine the grade and feel free to ask any questions that you have. Will ship next day once payment is received.
