1856 BRAIDED HAIR 1C, SLANTED 5 PCGS PR65 Red

Gem Proof 1856 Braided Hair cent, Slanted 5, certified PR65 Red by PCGS. The notes describe Gem red surfaces and a reported mintage of only 100 proofs, with just a PR65+ coin listed higher. Full Red proof large cents from the 1850s are particularly sensitive to color change, making original red surfaces an important attribute. The Slanted 5 variety adds date-style interest within the final years of the large cent denomination. This example offers strong copper color, Gem preservation, and advanced standing among proof Braided Hair cents.
