1850 N.28 Braided Hair Cent NGC AU58 BN Choice+

IF this coin is AU, then it can't possibly be anything other than a 58+. I bought it raw and sent it to NGC with my grade notes, "AU58+ or MS62". Regardless, this is a superb quality coin in every way that matters...surface quality, color, originality, strike, eye appeal...and any other(s) that you might think of. Or, as one of my real old-time mentors would have said, "brown and smooth". To him, there was no higher praise for a copper coin.
