1846 1C N-11 Medium Date, BN MS63BN Certification #32821197, PCGS #403883

The N-11 (or Medium) Date is one of the very challenging major varieties in the Braided Hair Large Cent series. Although no major variety for the year 1846 is truly rare, the medium date is a conditionally rarity in uncirculated condition. This specific coin (one of only a handful in PCGS 63 or better) exhibits a soft glossy luster with faint tints of red scattered throughout the coin. Some roughness (possibly from the planchet is noted in both the right and left obverse field. The reverse of the coin shows slightly more red, perhaps as much as 20% but fails to come near A RB designation. This coin is CAC approved.
