  • Mintage of 56,500 / NGC pop. 15

  • Exceptional MS66 BN grade – Among the finest known survivors, boasting rich brown luster and outstanding eye appeal.

  • Final decade of issue – A beautifully preserved example from one of the last years of the U.S. Half Cent series.

This 1855 Braided Hair Half Cent, graded MS66 BN by NGC, represents an outstanding specimen of a long-retired U.S. denomination. Struck just two years before the Half Cent was discontinued in 1857, this coin showcases the elegant Braided Hair Liberty design and is attributed as Cohen-1 (C-1)—a recognized die variety. With its smooth fields, crisp details, and lustrous chocolate-brown toning, this Mint State example ranks among the highest-graded coins of its kind. Collectors value MS66 Brown examples for their scarcity and striking visual appeal.

The Braided Hair series marked the final chapter of the Half Cent, a denomination used in early commerce but eventually phased out as small cent pieces took hold. This 1855 issue is not only historically significant but also a standout piece due to its superb preservation. Housed in a secure NGC holder, it offers both protection and authentication, making it a wise acquisition for any U.S. type set, early copper collection, or investment-focused portfolio.
