1852 Braided Hair Large Cent PCGS XF-45 BN Strong Detail, Honest Circulation, Classic Copper Type

1852 Braided Hair Large Cent, certified XF-45 Brown (BN) by Professional Coin Grading Service. The Braided Hair series (1839–1857) represents the final chapter of U.S. large cents, and examples in Extremely Fine condition offer an ideal balance between affordability and visual detail. This mid-grade example shows sharp, well-defined detail across Liberty’s hair and coronet, with strong remaining definition in the reverse wreath. The coin displays a pleasing medium-brown color consistent with natural aging, free from any distracting environmental damage. Light, even wear is present across the high points, as expected for the grade, while the surfaces remain problem-free with solid eye appeal. Legends and dates are bold and fully legible, making this an attractive and collectible piece for type or date collectors alike.
