2 braided cents. what is the variety of each of them? the photos of the third braided cent would not upload. sorry
The 1845 my best guess is N4, which is R1, based on what I can see of the date position, but even that is a little too blurry to really tell. I can't say anything constructive on the 1843, you would need much better pictures and even then it may be a stretch to attribute. These would require much better pictures to accurately attribute. For what it's worth, in that grade the years 1843 and 1845 both have only one variety which would bring a premium, and your coins are not those varieties. Unlike the early dates and a lot of the middle dates, the late date large cent dies had their entire design, except the date, hubbed from a master. This basically means there is no difference in varieties between the position of anything on the coin except for the location of the date. All other attribution points are basically tool marking, cracks, flowlines, or die damage. This makes it very difficult to attribute by photo, even good photos. Many of the attribution points require a minimum 10x loupe, and even than ,lower grade coins can be tough to make out. This is in sharp contrast to the early and middle dates. For the earliest coins, the dies were almost entirely hand engraved, up to around 1794. In these years the varieties are easy to spot as the coins have dramatic differences in design. Around 1795 and up through the draped bust and middle date coins the bust and the wreath were hubbed onto the die. Most/All the letters and numbers were added to each die with punches. Hence a lot of the attribution points on draped bust and middle date coins are the position of letters in relation to design elements like the hair, or the leaf position. Like I said, once you get into the late dates, the entire design was hubbed onto the die so there are no positional differences between design elements, except the date.
