- Amazing Superb Gem Mint State 1852 N-12 Large Cent One of Just Five MS-67 BN Examples Certified for the Entire Braided Hair Type 1852 Braided Hair Cent. N-12. Rarity-1. Noyes Die State A/A. MS-67 BN (PCGS). CAC. The Newcomb-12 is one of 24 varieties of the date; in its latest state N-12 is called N-13. It is distinguished by the boldly repunched 1 in the date. This example is an early die state with spurs still visible at back of Liberty's middle curls, but no line from top of 1 in date. The repunching at the 1 is extremely bold, the reverse is in its earliest, undisturbed state. The strike is bold throughout with all but star 5 on the obverse with full radials. The reverse details are crisp and sharp. Satiny rose-brown surfaces exhibit richly active luster and superior eye appeal. The Noyes Census lists this specimen as tied for finest known; McCawley-Grellman lists it as finest known; no Bland Census after 1839. Noyes grades the coin MS-65, and McCawley-Grellman calls it MS-66. An example worthy of the finest cabinet. PCGS# 147260. Provenance: From our (Stack's) sale of the Floyd T. Starr Collection, June 1984, lot 711; and Ira & Larry Goldbergs' sale of the Ted Naftzger Collection, Part III, September 2009, lot 1116.
