Braided Hair Cents - Grade My Grade!

I picked up a couple of Braided Hair cents and although they're not in the best shape, they're still neat as they're my first (my focus has been entirely elsewhere with my collecting direction). Do you agree with these grades and attributions?

Thanks in advance!

I agree with you on both.

 

I’m at f-12 on the 1846 and xf 40 details damage and environmental damage on the 1853,

 

I am in agreement with Mainebill... F-12 & XF-40.

 

The ‘46 looks like it was cleaned at some point in the past.

 

12 net 10 for cleaning on 46, and 25 net 12 on 53.

Thanks for the grade analysis everyone!

I'll be subtracting one from each of the grades.

This'll be submitted to NGC on my next batch so I'll post the results back here.

 

@iPen , early copper is very cool. When I started collecting, I was only interested in Silver coins. Over the years, I've really come to appreciate our early copper coinage.

 

That's exactly what happened to me! lol

 

Copper (Lincolns) and then to silver and then back to copper (LCs)...

 

Started with copper. Still love large cents but my love now is silver dollars. And not Morgan’s. The early and the trade. And more and more the seated

 

F12
XF det. Corroded.

 

Results are in!
