This one looked pretty good for $26. Couple nicks here and there but overall a pretty solid coin. XF 40 ish?
Not sure on grade but it appears to be a great deal at $26. Here's one estimate...........1853 Braided Hair Liberty Head Large Cent Early Copper Penny Coin Value Prices, Photos & Info
IDK I'd give her a 45 maybe even a 50.. hair is great full liberty, clear beads, clean and clear denticals obv and rev.. a steal for 26 bucks and a very nice Large Cent
That’s a great buy @ $26. The coin is a classic EF-40. With “grade-flation, it’s now an EF-45 on its way to the AU numbers.
You got a pretty good deal there! That is textbook XF, in which CDN numbers (Greysheet and CPG) are $46/60 for XF40 and $57/75 for XF45. Taking the average of the 4 numbers, you've got about a $60 coin for $26.
My father paid $10 for this 1853 cent at a fea market that was tied to a country auction. It's an important coin to me because it's the last piece my father bought for me. It was a bargain then, but not a huge bargain since it was 30 years ago.
