<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1577525, member: 26030&quot;]<b>1853 Braided Hair Large Cent. </b><span style="color: #008000"> PCGS MS62BN CAC.</span>&nbsp; Picked up this beauty at 4am this morning for $225 (insomniacs catch the worm sometimes). The coin was part of the &quot;Broward County Type Set&quot;, which is a collection of Type coins assembled by a long time collector over the course of a few decades and finished in the late 1980&#039;s just as &quot;slabbing&quot; was coming into vogue.&nbsp; This particular Large Cent that I bought looks like potential upgrade material to my eye.&nbsp; These are the sellers photos, which I &quot;levels adjusted&quot; in Photoshop to reduce the brightness a bit.&nbsp; I will post new photos when I get the coin in hand and can do better coin/photo matching.&nbsp;&nbsp; I like that I am seeing a bit of glossy luster peeking out.&nbsp; It&#039;s kind of amazing to me that you can buy a 160 year old, pre Civil War mint state coin as nice looking as this for around two hundred bucks.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1853O.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1853R.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
