1854 Braided Large Cent XF40 BN NGC

The 1854 Braided Hair Large Cent, graded XF40 BN by NGC, showcases the iconic image of Liberty with a braided hair design on the obverse, while the reverse features a wreath encircling the word "CENTS." In XF40 condition, the coin exhibits moderate wear, with strong detail remaining on the features, especially on Liberty's portrait and the surrounding inscriptions, while some of the finer details have begun to smooth. The "BN" (Brown) designation indicates the coin's predominantly brown color, and as a mid-19th century issue, the 1854 is a key date within the Braided Hair series, making it a desirable choice for collectors of early U.S. copper.
